My friends, as it is Superb Owl day, I would like to show a more recent picture of Baked Beans, taken back in January. He now has his adult plumage and is quite majestic, particularly since he's all sticky-uppy. He was being taken past the gorilla play room and did not like the gorillas.

A small owl perched on a glove. It's facing forward but looking to the right towards something behind the camera. It's ear and face feathers are all sticking up in alarm. The owl is a tawny brown with white patches on its face and chest, and smaller dark patches on its chest and wings.

Baby owls, not always cute. Sometimes, they look like death warmed over, right after waking up but before the coffee is ready.
My sister calls this his "mouldy strawberry" phase.

Anyway, here's another picture of Beans taken the same day as the previous post. I don't think he's quite awake yet

A close up of Beans. His eyes are mostly closed and puffy. You can really see the prickly looking feathers starting to come in around his face. Overall he's the color of dust from under the bed, interspersed with unstmmetric dark patches. Between his eyes the feathers are particularly prickly looking. They're tan with white tips and small black bits, and it kind of looks like he's bald there. The feathers under his eyes are dark, making him look like he has deep bags under his eyes. Overall it reminds me of a cartoon where someone might look comedically horrifying right after they wake up.

This is one of the earliest Beans pictures. He itty! He bitty! He covered in baby fluff!

Look at that little round boi. If you zoom in, he is rockin that 'stache

A very small owl, maybe 6 inches tall. His silhouette resembles a round ball of a head on top of a slightly longer round ball of a body. His plumage shows he's very young. He's just starting to have real feathers come in. The baby fluff is a light greyish color intermixed with feathers that are just starting to show patterns of light and dark brown horizontal waves. His face is patchy light grey, light brown, and dark brown, and mostly just looks like a mess. Between his eyes looks quite spiky like pins and needles, and kind of looks balding. Besides his beak the feathers are a little more well formed and kind of look like a voluminous mustache. His eyes are very dark and somewhat squinting as regards the observer. He looks like he was recently woken up from bed. My sister calls this his "mouldy strawberry" phase.
His enclosure appears to be a travel crate filled with towels and a water dish and a wooden dowel perch, with a metal grid door on the front — A very small owl, maybe 6 inches tall.

Hey y'all, wanna know what a disgruntled baby owl looks like?
Well, someone opened the refrigerator near Beans. This is his disgruntled face.
Ruffled is a good word here.

Beans standing on a leather glove. He is quite ruffled. His ear feathers (did you know owls have movable ear feathers?) are sticking straight up and the feathers on his face between his eyes and around his beak are also sticking straight out, long enough that it's kind of hard to see his beak. He's staring intently at something to the right of the camera. He clutches a small piece of meat in one claw.
