New Cooked Owl Pet Arrives in Grow a Garden Update

LOS ANGELES, CA — Grow a Garden has announced the release of the Cooked Owl, a new mythical pet, set to launch on June 14, 2025, during the Working Bee and Crafting Update.

The Cooked Owl is part of the ongoing Bizzy Bees Swarm Event, which has previously added ten pets to the popular game. Players will only be able to obtain the Cooked Owl for a limited time, requiring them to log into the game at the start of the update to receive it. The pet will be automatically added to each qualifying player’s inventory as part of the event.

“To get the Cooked Owl, simply log in when the Working Bee update drops at 7:00 AM PST,” said a Grow a Garden developer. “It’s important to join at least 30 minutes early, as we expect heavy traffic and possible server issues.”

The Cooked Owl has a unique ability that allows it to cook nearby fruit, giving it a chance to transform them into cooked items. While these flavors can often turn the fruit into a burnt version, there’s also a chance for a successful cook.

Players have seen similar limited-time pets in the past, like the Panda offered during an earlier update. However, the Cooked Owl’s backstory has a humorous twist. Lead developer Jandel initially introduced a cosmetic item of the owl after a disappointing event at the Twilight Shop caused frustration among players. To appease the community, he promised a new pet, which led to the creation of the Cooked Owl.

As excitement builds for the upcoming update, players are advised to prepare for a series of new crafting options and features within Grow a Garden. This release aims to enhance gameplay experience further, reflecting the developers’ commitment to expanding the game.

The Cooked Owl pet will be available until June 20, 2025, providing a short window for players to acquire this exclusive companion.
