From Kevan Little

She's looking stunning in the warm glow of first light. Always a good start to the day when you're sat in the company of this beautiful creature - in Whitby, North Yorkshire Coast. (England)

Owl practicing their crane kick. Wise.

I would not want to be kicked by those feet especially. 😮

TIL the Tytonidae (barn owls) do the same "one-leg perching" that of Athene cunicularia (burrowing owls). Lol

I believe all birds do it. It lets them rest a leg since they don't sit down, and if they tuck it up in their feathers, they can warm it up a bit since many species have bare legs.

Perhaps early morning tea with owls has kept the UK from becoming a coffee centric nation... 🤔

Didn't Italian predecessors invent Athena?

The Athenians/Greeks had Athena.

The Romans had Minerva.
