I thought it would spawn on 1 Nov instead of 22 Sep?
I made a ticket about this as well, and the GM told me Azeroth winter started at 1 november.
I made a ticket about this and GM said start of Azeroth winter is from november 1st.
It doesn't surprise me they're not up. The respawn rate is low. There are not many spawns either. Even on a low pop realm chances are someone phased themselves before you.
I merged the two threads about the Snowy Owl because we really don't need two threads about Snowy Owls.
Thank you for providing proof, it's much appreciated!

I can't exactly say if the GM was right or wrong. But for the guardling, a GM said it would spawn on the first day of the Summer solstice. which turned out to be 100% correct. So you might want to check for them on the first day of the autumnal equinox, which in 2013 according to google is Sept 22 in the northern hemisphere (USA).
This ticket doesn't prove anything.Did anyone actually found any spawns after November 1 st? Because i don't see anyone replying to this thread saying "Dudes i don't know what are you talking about got that pet an hour ago".....
At this point, I don't care what any GM says. I just want proof from SOMEONE that they have caught the Snowy Owl since Nov. 1 has come around. All I see in this forum is "This GM said this" or "The winter solstice starts on this date," etc. If no one has caught it yet (I have been camping it on and off since the 1st and have yet to see it or evidence that it spawns), then that's all I care about, and will stop wasting my time, flying around Winterspring, looking for a pet that isn't available yet.
Are these pets spawn yet or am i so unlucky or blind that i can't find one even if i'm flying all over Winterspring for many many hours?
It's not winter yet, I don't think. They only spawn during the winter months.
Last year they spawned 1st November, 12 am. This year Blizzard apparently changed it to December (don't know a date). I was farming it as well, didn't see even one. They're only 1st pets, so don't bother killing others - they also don't share spawns.
I'd watch on either 1st December or 21st December.
This is from the wowhead snowy owl's page (is the GM's reply to a support ticket):
"Hey there!
Thanks for your patience! The Kor'kron have been rampaging all over the office the last few days and I'm pretty sure they got into the coffee.
Good question about the Snowy Owl! This year, with patch 5.3, it and the Qiraji Guardling spawns changed so that they match up with the real-life calendar days for Winter and Summer, respectively.
Thus, the Snowy Owl has not begun spawning on any server, and will not until Winter officially begins in the real world (Northern Hemisphere, to be precise). From that, you should be able to see approximately when this will begin (hint: December 21st for 2013). Then you'll know when to go out and catch that feathery little guy!
Hope you have an awesome day! Thanks again for contacting me. "
So we must wait until december... =(
