There is a nest of owls outside of my backyard that is filled with baby owls. Now one of them is following me everywhere I go! What do I do? Obviously, can't shoot it because
1. it's against the law
2. i don't even have anything close to a firearm (except some tiny rubber bands)
3. it's too cute

You really need to avoid being anywhere near the nest. That owl is a wild creature that should not have any human interaction anyway.
It is unlawful to handle the bird, even if you think it is cute. Furthermore, you may find out it is unlawful to harass the birds in any way. A DNR officer can consider you harrassing the bird by merely frequenting the nest area.
So, leave the nest area alone and let the creatures do what they are supposed to do, naturally and without human interaction.

Some cultures would tell you how luck will follow you as long as the owl is happy. They wont hurt you but if they are ALL happy you may never sleep again. If they really bother you you can call animal control or an bird aviaries rehab. They will take them and make sure they are not depending on you for food or anything then relocate them in the woods. GOOD LUCK

If it is actually following you and looking up at you calling as if you were it's mother it has somehow become imprinted on you, keep an eye on it and if all it wants to do is come to you and takes no notice of it's mother or siblings, put it in a box, not too big so it can jump around but big enough for it to turn around. and take it to a wild life rescue center or preferably a falconer. I have been given many baby owls, kestrels and sparrow hawks that couldn't survive on their own and either successfully released them or if they are unfit for release we can use them in breeding programs.

AAAWWW!!!x100
How cute! You don't know how lucky you are! I wished that a super duper cute baby owl would follow me! Why do you have all the luck? Name it Pig like Ron's new pet owl! Or you can call animal control, but the poor baby owl will be very sad to leave you...did it call you mommy? That would have been sooooooo cute!!!

Awww how cute. You shouldnt think about getting him away. You obviously have made a new friend and animals are attracted to good people so just be happy.

Don't try to handle the bird. If it becomes a problem, you can call a local animal rescue and see what they would do about the problem.

Call the police and press charges. It has no right to stalk you like that!
