I was absolutely shocked to see not just two, but five fully grown Barn Owls emerge from this tiny hole in the dirt. I have no idea how they all fit comfortably in there! Image taken well after sunset.

I don’t poke my head in here too often, curious how they look unusual.
Also, warning for fellow Facebook haters, source link is a Facebook link. No hate to OP, I get you are just posting the source to properly credit the photographer, and if Facebook is where the picture was originally posted…
This is a somewhat reversed owl joke.
The typical scenario is where there is something like a Great Horned Owl in a barn, and someone will inevitably say “that’s a funny looking Barn Owl!”
The birds in the OP photo are Barn Owls, but they are in a more burrow-like nesting spot, so this is my “these are funny looking Burrowing Owls!”.
Here are some Burrowing Owls and their burrows so you can see they are obviously nothing alike.
Facebook links are pretty necessary for me. I know you all hate it. All the rescues are on it though as it is free, easy to use anytime, anywhere, and reaches the most people at once, so that is where the bulk of animal content with stories will be coming from.
OP, I’ll say horrible things about facebook all day, but you totally get a free pass. You’re doing the Owl’s work, as they (might) say.
It makes perfect sense why the groups do it. It’s basically free advertising to the largest audience, and the algorithm will promote any cute animal, based on all the AI ones I get recommended. It helps get them money and attention, and sites like Flickr rarely give any backstory, so it’s just my best option. I was going to delete my profile until I started doing this, so now it’s over 100 animal groups on my list and like 20 friends, yet still at least half of the recs it gives me are politics stuff from both sides and AI spam. It’s as bad as the ratio of ads to content back when people read magazines.
