For all your owl related needs!

  • I had to double and check my spelling when I made the post from making the pun so much. It kept looking like it was wrong. 😊

  • They're in my top tier of tiny owls!

  • From what I can make out, it looks like the bare handed person is lifting a wing, but this poor Ruru was a mess! 🫣

  • Oh, thank you for making me think I should have added a link about the tree itself!

    It sounds like a huge glue trap, which cause much the same attractive hazard for birds of prey.

    Nature can be pretty crazy!

  • Beautiful!

  • If they burrow too far, you think they may end up like this?

  • I like when them fluffy legs are dangling.

  • Uh, just a smidge there by the beak. I don't think anyone noticed... 🫢

  • I made sure to remind you all they were related so you wouldn't have to....speculate! 👓

  • I watched the Superbowl on a Sky Sports stream from the UK. No ads, they just cut to talking to people on the field.

  • Poor owl couple! 😦

    So many animals get stuck/burned/killed from uncapped chimneys. I'm glad these 2 could get through the flue and get found before long.

    The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) said tawny owls were the most common owls in the UK, but they had declined by more than 40% between 1995 and 2023.

    "Because they only come out at night, they're tricky to study and scientists don't yet know the reasons for their decline, but habitat loss and a lack of prey might be part of the problem," an RSPB spokesperson said.

    We are pretty much the only cause for owl decline. We eliminate their homes, we poison their food, we hit them with cars, we shoot them, we let cats get at them, we leave dangerous obstacles for them to hit and get ensnared with, and so on. 😠 /end rant
