Grow A Garden continues to serve up surprises, and this time, it’s offering one of the strangest (and most hilarious) pets yet which is the Cooked Owl. What started as an inside joke after a disappointing shop rotation has become one of the most sought-after limited-time pets.
The best part? You can claim it for free, but only if you follow some very specific steps. But the steps to getting it aren’t so easy. So, here’s everything you need to know to unlock the Cooked Owl before it disappears.
How To Get Cooked Owl Pet In Grow A Garden
The Cooked Owl pet is being given away for free during the release of the Crafting Bee Update, but this isn’t your usual in-game event or code redemption.
To claim it, you’ll need to be at the right place at the right time, literally. So, here are all the steps that you need to follow to get this pet in Grow A Garden:
- Be Online During the Update Drop: The update goes live on June 14, 2025, at 7:00 AM PST (or 3:00 PM UK Time). You must be in the game when the update officially drops.
- Join the Game Early: Log into Grow A Garden at least 30 minutes before the scheduled time.
- Wait for the Automatic Reward: If you’re online when the update goes live, the Cooked Owl pet will be automatically added to your inventory, likely after a short cutscene or system message.
That’s all you need to do. No codes, no quests. You just need to show up on time.
What Is Cooked Owl Pet In Grow A Garden
The Cooked Owl started as a joke during the Twilight Shop event when the Shop Owl gave players two back-to-back terrible item rotations. Developer Jandel was fed up with the disappointment.
So, he publicly declared he would “cook the bird” in retaliation. At first, it sounded like a meme, but then came the barbecue cosmetic, and now, a full-fledged pet.
Cooked Owl Pet: Effects & Uses
At the time of writing, no confirmed passive ability for the Cooked Owl has been revealed. However, leaks from the official Grow A Garden Discord suggest that this bird might offer a burnt mutation boost or have some special visual effects like smoke coming out of its head and bones replacing its feet.
Here’s what we know so far:
- Appearance: The pet has a tanned, roasted look with bone legs and a slightly smoky aura.
- Speculated Ability: Some players believe it can interact with crops to mutate them by increasing chances for rare crop outcomes like the Burnt or Toasted mutations.
Even if it turns out to be cosmetic only, the fact that it’s a one-time drop makes it a prized addition to any player’s collection. And if Jandel follows through with his usual balance passes, it can even get a utility effect in a future patch.
