LorenBurrowing owls sound like a thing someone made up and not just an adorable owl that lives in a hole in the ground

ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIES@loren someone said burrowing owls?
SearingTruthOh my goodness fellow citizen Ben Royce 🇺🇸 🇺🇦, that made me cry. What a wonderful soul to have saved and then released them.
They all look so trusting but terrified, except for the second to last soul, who seems to understand everything.

there's an unintentional humor to it. everything is safe and good, but we anthropomorphize and we read their expressions from a homo sapiens emotional reference point- the wide eyed gawking (just owl resting face) and stand offish body language. so there's this bizarre dissonance between the contented bucolic scene of the return home, with, well, a grim bucket full of owls

The third one, with its mouth agape in shock and awe tho…. 💜
Sue is Writing Solarpunk 🌞🌱@susankayequinn @loren happiness is a bucket full of owls

Ms. Que Banh@PhoenixSerenity @loren they merely exist as roly poly balls of cute
@benroyce @loren Most cats are actually shitty rodent controllers. There's been a couple of scientific studies about that too.
Owls & natural native predators do better rodents control than introduced domestic cats do.
They kill native birds too, when allowed to free roam. I love cats. I like responsible cat owners.
ecological stasis. the only imbalance being us introducing extra rodents. rather than us bringing cats, and driving native bird species to extinction 😩

your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦@benroyce @loren the 4th (or was it the 3rd?) one reminded me of RICO from the Penguins of Madagascar.
Seth A. Roby@benroyce where is that? They’re native to my area (Newport Back Bay) but I’ve never seen any.

handmade ghost@loren Random irrelevancy in your mentions: Burrow owls always make me think of the song Stuart by the Dead Milk Men.

@handmade_ghost @loren THEY'RE BUILDING LANDING STRIPS FOR GAY MARTIANS!
Mike@loren I'm not sure what I'd do if an owl poked its head up from a burrow, I guess my usual owl response, oh, hey owl, I *really* didn't expect to see you there
small, primitive, wingless

Borrowing owls.
Borrowing owls.
Alex Haist@catselbow @loren that would explain all the owls/library imagery
@catselbow @loren so sad :(
Russ@loren in a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit-owl. 🦉
keith@loren obligatory link to, as far as i know, the only song referencing burrow owls by the dead milkmen.

The Dead Milkmen - Stuart
Antipope Superstar@loren I literally thought they were something the dead milkmen made up for the longest time
Samhain Night@loren In a hole in the ground lived an owl.
- JRR Tolkien, probably.
Derek Carroll@loren Due to the Dead Milkmen song "Stuart", I can't hear that sentence without extra pauses
Paulo Henrique@loren I love these owls. There are many of them in my city, I'm always taking photos 🧡🦉
