Owls can actually be adorable #owl #bird #animals #fypシ゚viral

If you gently touch an owl's back, it might turn around and give you a tiny squeak. For an owl that's comfortable around experienced handlers, soft little squeaks can be one way it communicates while remaining relaxed around people it knows. But owls are surprisingly different from what most people imagine. What looks like a solid bulky body is actually made up mostly of feathers. Their plumage is incredibly soft and fluffy, trapping layers of air that help keep them warm during cold nights. Underneath all those feathers, an owl's body is much slimmer than it appears. Even their long legs are usually hidden beneath those thick feathers. When an owl stretches or stands upright, it suddenly looks much taller than most people expect. Owls can even change the way they look just by adjusting their feathers. When they're resting or trying to stay warm, they fluff themselves up into what looks like a round ball of feathers. But when they want to cool down or appear slimmer, they press those same feathers tightly against their bodies. Making themselves look surprisingly thin, and not every owl is enormous. Some species like the elf owl spend their entire lives staying tiny.
