WINNER: SAW WHET OWL 56-27
Saw Whet Owls are one of the smallest of the North American owls. Their names comes from their vocalization, which is says to sound like sharpening a saw blade. They come mainly from deep coniferous forests, far away from people. We usually only encounter them during their annual migration, when they are banded and studied. This is a very adorable little owl, and it comes in many colors and patterns.
The Ural Owl is quite the opposite to the Saw Whet. This large owl comes from northern Europe and Russia. Unlike the large excited eyes of the Saw Whet, the Ural Owl usually looks half asleep. While Ural Owls also typically don’t live near people, they do not appear as shy as the Saw Whet, and are fairly easy to approach.

I’m voting for the Saw Whet.
I was a Saw Whet.
But I have kids now, so I’m an Ural.
The Dad/Mom
BodFace Owl!I think Ural looks like Bill Murray.
Less the bod, and more the face of “I’m always tired / what did they do now”
I get that face after about 15 minutes with kids! More power to you for doing it full time!
Speed vs Weed
I wasn’t gonna say it, but I was thinking it!
Don’t worry, I’ll always be around to lower the tone of discourse 😂
I appreciate the effort 😆
It looks like a plushie :3
I want to carry one in my shirt pocket.
I thought with their polar opposite moods, it was going to make a really easy choice for a lot of you today. One of them is instantly going to speak to all your personality types.
Honestly this is the hardest one for me so far! I’m not sure why. Just love the look of both of them.
That’s the important part. I’m out to get all you to love each and every owl out there!
