Their expression looks like they may be down for a cuddle...but they're still an owl so probably not. One can dream... 😊

I wonder what she's thinking.

Despite their reputation as a creature of wisdom, their giant eyeballs don't leave much space for brains. I like to imagine them as savants, dopey in most things, but calculating all sorts of advanced geometry, vectors, and trajectories for everything they're sensing.

Regardless, I just hope they are having a good time doing whatever it is they are doing! ❤️
