    We have this very big baby right now, that was trying to look so scary to me. From the second it heard the door open, it started snapping its beak, and puffing up, and making attack gestures…

    But every time it blinked at me, it had the cutest and most delicate eye lashes ever. 😍

    I appreciate the effort you’re putting in to be a brave and strong owl, little one, but you are just too dang cute no matter how much anger you are trying to portray!

    It ate really well though, so this is the first owl I’ve actually seen eat willingly in person. It gobbled up 4 mice just like that. Usually the wild owls are too skittish to eat while I’m around.

      I seriously try not to sound like Elvira Mistress of the dark, but that is just adorbs!

        I cannot explain the desire to squeeze tightly to my chest such a floofy ball of rage that would cheerfully shred me to bits, but it is a condition I have been stricken with.

          Just don’t let it squeeze you too hard, it could let you think you’re their squishy.
