Stone Owl: What it Does, Event It Unlocks – Stardew Valley
ConcernedApe has hidden a number of secrets inside Stardew Valley for players to encounter. Some of these secrets have to be sought out while others occur purely by chance. One of the secrets that occurs by chance is the appearance of the rare owl statue on your farm. To learn everything you need to know about the Stone Owl see our guide below.
How to Get the Stone Owl Event
The Stone Owl is an event players can randomly get on their farm after year one of farming. This event has a less than 1/100 chance of occurring each night much like the Strange Capsule rare event.
To get the Stone Owl to appear on your farm ensure you have an open tile for the item to spawn. Once this is done you just need to advance each day until the event happens. You will know the event has occurred as you will hear a Owl sound while sleeping. The day after the sound effect you will have the owl sculpture on a tile on your farm.
What is the Point of the Stone Owl?
The statue that appears on your farm during the night is purely decorative. Like other decorative items in the game you can pick up the statue and place it wherever you wish. If you do pick up the statue you will find the description of the item is “It’s not clear where this came from, but it looks very fine.” Also keep in mind this event sculpture is unrelated to the owl statue you can get from the Night Market.
That’s all you need to know about the random item spawn and the Easter Egg attached to it. This is just one of many Easter Eggs in Stardew Valley. The official game wiki is a good place to look if you are wanting to see all that have been found so far. Good luck hunting for the different secrets.

I am 7yrs along in-game & have a total of 4 Owl Statues that have randomly generated…what I find interesting, is that I randomly found my first while clearing my land, & then the 2nd, 3rd, & 4th all seemed to appear as I added family to my land…my husband, & then each of my children.
replaying stardew valley for the third time, i’ve never seen it before so i just googled it. found it on my first night in the game, year 1 night 1. wow!
I had one appear on day 14 of a new file i was like where did this come from what? And read the description when i picked it up 😆
I got 2 in one year 🧍
I got mine within the first three real days of ever playing stardew vally sometime in spring year 2
i never noticed until a youtuber said that it did not exist
I got mine 23rd spring year 1 im so confused

i got mine summer 1 year 1
Mine appeared winter 2 year 3
I’ve played this game for 500 hours and I literally just got it on day 12 of spring on year one! I’ve never noticed it until now, tbh.
I got mine the fall of the first year? A year hasn’t passed yet.

I got mine on year 15 day 17 of fall imao

I got mine like some day in year 1 spring my first playthrough
I got mine on the 2nd of spring year 1
out of nowhere
I found mine close to winter, year 3. I say “found” because it was hidden in the bushes i don’t know for long long
huh I just bought the game for my laptop and this is the first account for the file. I havent finished a year yet and I got it during the fall of my first year randomly.
I got mine on day 8 of playing lmao
They are quite common if you play on Nintendo Switch, so you’ll get a lot, but Xbox and PS are more uncommon.
I just got the owl by day 12 of the first year and first season, so I think it is possible to get in year one.
I had my owl statue appear in my first year, 18th of spring on my latest playthrough on switch.
I got it on the 23 of summer in my first year and saw a huge owl while fishing.
I like got three minimum of these random Stone owls through year 1 – starting only a few days in the game… like what do I do with them?!
And I like how “rare” they’re supposed to be, but in most of my safe files I’ve gotten at least one in the beginning of year one, and often I even get multiple…. It’s not as rare to me as the database says….
I got mine 16th Winter year 3.
i got an owl statue in like spring year 1 ._.
Me too!!
i got mine in my first year in summer and the alien capsule a few days before i got both within a week!
My husband’s owl statue (random event, not Night Mrkt). It moves to different places on the farm from time to time. Has anyone ever had that happen? I can’t seem to find anything on the web that tells if the stone owl unlocks or does something else.
I had my audio off, but had a pause loading my profits of the day, so i thought something happened. Oddly, i had a mushroom tree sprout the same night! What the chances!
Yeah I also just got mine in my first year on day 14 of Fall. I didn’t notice the owl sound but I mightve just not been paying attention.
Wow I got mine literally on my 4th day of my first year. Just started a new game and already got this rare item!!
Y’all srsly are so early I got it fall 8th year 4
I got mine in the first month I think tbh I forgot but the little light ( I think it had a light ) went out in winter and I wanted to know if some thing was gonna happen lol
