WINNER: SOOTY OWL 30-26
The Eurasian Eagle Owl had long been a hit on the Internet. Large, powerful, and beautiful, it always grabs your attention. Imprinted Eagle Owls are one of the more popular choices to work as rodent and bird control. It is one of the most widespread owls of the Eurasian continent. This big owl has a lot of start power; will it prevail today?
This was originally supposed to be the Greater Sooty Owl, but a lot of pics of the Greater and Lesser Sooty aren’t labeled as such (almost as much fun as Little Owl vs Little Owl pics) so I’m going to lump them together since I’m not sure I can 100% identify then.
If you like the Barn Owl, you may also love it’s dark Goth/Glam cousin, the Sooty Owls. These owls from down under have a great look, and a terrifying shriek call that would fit in great in a horror movie soundtrack. Their dark color makes them very hard to find, so they’re rare birds to encounter. Is this dark, mysterious stranger able to take down an Internet celebrity?
Upvote this post and your favorite below! Also, don’t miss out on the Barking Owl vs Little Owl from earlier today!
When I was a kid, some folk from the sadly now closed Penscynor Wildlife Park brought in some big birds to my school for a feathery showoff session, and I got a Eagle Owl to sit on my arm, it was almost as tall as me, weighed a fookin ton, and it glared at me in the eyes then shat on my arm.
So obviously my vote is for that big eared feathery bastage the Eagle Owl.
Lol, the poo is always the finishing touch!
We went to an event at the local library a few weeks ago that was mainly kids, and every time those owls let one go, the kids loved it.
An Eagle Owl that was working at the beach was my first post here I believe.
