Did anyone mention…. These two match?
Hah, I didn't notice this one. My fav is the lady in red and white with the Milky Eagle Owl. It looks like they are making the same face.
HA! True
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure. It felt like we needed to see a little bit of positive humanity.
And what an incredibly cast of owls to interact wiþ! Such diversity!
Do owl ambassadors, in general, like to be petted, or do þey merely endure it? In þe wild, I assume co-grooming between mated pairs at least is common, if not in þe more social owls, so þe base reaction might not be unusual.
I'm þinking of reptiles, which for þe most part don't seem to gain much enjoyment from being stroked. Maybe some pet lizards enjoy skritches, but in general, not every species likes þe simulation of social grooming. Do owls?
To my knowledge, I've only seen owls hatched in captivity and imprinted immediately really be used this way. I don't share much content like this because they are animals that should be wild, but humans have purposely made to be unable to care for themselves, yet still aren't really domestic animals.
A wild owl is not going to understand you petting it in the way you intend it. The only physical contact they enjoy is when they're going to eat something or make a baby owl, and we are obviously not either of those things to them.
Mammals seem to be the only things I see actively cuddling with each other, and even then it's really only with those they consider to be family or mates.
I babysat a bearded dragon once. It was kinda cool, but as you said, it didn't really want any interaction with me.
This is a Hoo’s hoo of owl ambassadors! Those lucky old folks!
A great selection of medium and large owls from Europe, Africa, and South America, plus a Scops someone found leftover in their pocket.
Keys . . . old lifesaver . . . Oh! Hey! 😄
Though not as rich nor as buttery, I'd still take the Scops over another Werther's Original. 🍬
