With the end of the Harry Potter movies, hundreds of pet owls are abandoned

Something that parents should get through their heads is that some things don’t make good household pets, no matter how much your little snowflake cries and cries. Apparently way too many parents thought they could get their Harry Potter loving kids a pet owl and it would make them the coolest parents ever, until they realized that owls don’t like being house pets and they just abandoned the animals.

Without feathers, owls are just scrawny little vulture-like birds

The actual body of an owl is very much smaller than what it looks like with a covering of feathers. The shape of the bird looks like a vulture or something. Who would have thought it? The photo is of a stuffed Great Grey Owl from the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen, cross section and whole.

TICKLE TIME!

Rotate your owl for science

SCIENCE ONLY.

OH SHIT IT’S A GHOST OWL! GHOST OWL!

Sally Arnold returned home to Kendal, Cumbria, and found the huge imprint complete with eyes, beak and feathers on her bedroom window. She said: “Our first concern was for the welfare of what we suspected was an owl and we opened up the window to check if it was still around.

“Fortunately, there was no sign of the bird and we can only assume that it had flown away probably suffering from a headache.” The silhouette was left by the bird’s “powder down” - a substance protecting growing feathers.

Daily Cuteness: BABY SCREECH OWLS!

Fuck, baby owls are cute as hell.

These orphaned Screech Owls are being weighed in WildCare’s Wildlife Hospital. They will stay in care until they’re old enough to be released back into the wild. Orphaned birds like these are always raised with others of their own species and contact with humans is kept to an absolute minimum. These little owls are gaining weight and soon will be ready for release!

Is there really a market for this?

I’m gonna come at you like a screech owl!

Panamanian footballer faces sanctions for kicking an owl

During a match between Panama and Columbia, an owl landed on the pitch and was hit and stunned by the soccer ball. Before the refs could clear the bird off the field, player Luis Moreno of Panama walked over and booted the owl off the field. Not a nudge, not a love tap, a swift kick to the head.

“The player should be severely punished for this painful, horrible act of intolerance,” Ramón Jesurum, the president of the Colombian league, said in a radio interview. He added that the case would go before the league’s disciplinary committee.

That’s right. Fuck you, owls are awesome. I hope that guy gets his arm ripped off by giant owls in his sleep. Moreno was escorted off the field and the owl was taken to a vet, where it was listed as being in serious condition.
