    These guys look big in the photos because they look like the Great Horned Owl I’m more familiar with, but they are quite a manageable size.

    I saw one in the museum today, and I’d say it’s about the size of an American football, but that doesn’t help you much, so it’s about 40 cm, 10 cm shorter than an average newborn baby.

    Either way, it’s a size and shape that’s designed to be cradled in the your arm. Perfect cuddling size!

        The original name of the Actually Short Overall, But Still Long Eared Owl has been reduced over the years! 😆

      Perfect cuddling size!

      I want to move my fingers into the fluffy feathers of its belly.
      All those owls are lucky I only saw them through picture bc I’m not sure they would enjoy me petting them the weirdest way 😂

        I know the feeling, friend! Today I’m supposed to get to hold an owl and there are so many parts I want to poke!
