Wow…he looks adorable and yet creepy in a disproportionate kind of way. ^_^
Agreed.
I think that over on Cute Overload, they’d call this li’l guy “ballular,” or maybe “spherrific.”
when i was little i crapped my pants every time i saw an owl, but i would just have giggled at this is sooooo cute. i wouldn’t have even known it was an owl.
I am confused, but I want one.
I always wanted a pet owl.
It would cut down on stray cats in your neighborhood.
Not a Screech, they’re too tiny.
Actually my uncle and grandpa had an owl for a pet before I was born, appropriately named Hoot LOL He was actually quite protective of my family and when my mom still lived in her hometown, he once followed her car back to her house, presumably to make sure she got back safe. I wish I had a photo scanned.
Aww, owl-loaf. 8D
Invisible eggshell.
What species is it? Anybody know?
It’s an Eastern Screech owl.
Bubo Epluribusunum
In the pretty red-brown phase too.
It’s a creepy tribble with eyes.
Just FYI…it’s illegal to own any native wild migratory bird in the USA. This includes adorable puffball owls like this one! People used to have them as pets, and it still happens in very rural areas of course. The International Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 governs all native species.
…And what happens, if they live in places where it is legal?
I do. The only reason I don’t want one is because I’m not prepared to take care for it at home. But if I could and I found one injured or otherwise unable to go back into the wild… I’d take care of it. They are beautiful, cute and intelligent… Still wild animasl, though.
….are you guys sure that isn’t an owl’s severed head??….it just doesn’t look physically possible to have a body under there….. o_O *shrugs*
aww so cute i want him :*
i love owls!!!!!!
OMG so cute!!!!
Is that thing real? :-/
i need that
I hope someone will quietly delete this post. This owl is being held captive by a very short chain (see lower right corner). It’s OK to see a domesticated animal on a leash (dog, ferret, cat, guinea pig), but it’s heartbreaking to see a wild animal on a chain like this.
It’s hard to tell if it is just chained or if part of the metal on the top of the post is a part of a trap?
Were’s its feet? Anyway, it’s so so so so soooooooooooo CUTE!!!! It’s so fluffy and cuddlable I want to squeeze it. I wish i could have one
…pretty sure thats dead…. its like a mounted head
“head owl is just a head”
It’s not dead… Have you never looked at a bird? They can ball themselves up, even bend their bodies forward on their legs. Owls also have a huge range of motion with their necks, and thus that position wouldn’t be impossible. You can see his feet. Or rather, one of them. It looks like he saw a mouse or something.
