Afternoon Awwwww… Baby Owls
Ok, continuing the theme of orphaned baby animals adopting inanimate objects as their parents I bring you… baby owls! These tawny owl chicks have adopted that stuffed owl as their mom (or maybe dad, what the hell do I know?). The article is kinda completely awesome:
“They’re perceived to be very wise animals because of their appearance but really they’re not very bright at all.
“Very often, baby tawny owls will leave their nests high up in trees out of curiosity before they can fly.”
The group have all bonded and snuggle up close to each other and to the cuddly toy owl dubbed ‘mummy owl’, which has to be washed regularly because she gets so much love.
When do you hear the animal rescuers calling their rescuees dumb and dirty? Heh! But so cute…
Man. Why isn’t there a video of these owls?? Cute animal stills are so 2006.

“This is a family photo taken on vacation in Asbury Park New Jersey before we all left for flight school. That’s me on the left and from right to left is my brother Stew, my sister Sarah squished in there and then my brother in law Craig who is being man handled by “crazy Eddie”, my massive but stupid second cousin from Arkansas.

my question is, how did the stuffed animal get up there. it’s not stuffed….not like me right now at least. mmmm. tacos. but i digress. i don’t believe that stuffed owl to be inanimate. it’s a new species.

Poyla, admit it, that’s not Sarah in the middle, that’s you!
As for a new species… I don’t know… I think I’d have believed you if you said Poyla was a new species…
