92 grams of pure aggression
at The Raptor Center, U. of Minnesota

@owlsintowels

Well, they have wrapped him up in a cloth with his dinner pictured all over it!

@owlsintowels those eyes are murderous, that owl is making a list
@owlsintowels Owls are often described as cat software on bird hardware
@Nead @owlsintowels With a significant hardware update to the murder mittens.

@Nead
I thought cats are crippled owl software on crippled mammalian hosts. To keep us alive and such while being near them.

1 kg of owl is instant death for most of us I recon.

@owlsintowels

@iwein @Nead @owlsintowels I don't get why people transfer the murder blame to the victim. A tiny human is 50kg. A big owl is 1kg. Captive small animals are TERRIFIED, so some lash out in desperation.

@bewilderbeast23
Nah, we're just snacks to them, they're patiently waiting for a lapse in vigilance and then SLASH... They know only rage and vengeance, fear is meaningless to them.

@Nead @owlsintowels

@iwein @Nead @owlsintowels snort! :-)
*scurries off to check on cause of death stats under "owl savaging"*
@owlsintowels Oh, man.. if looks could kill.

@owlsintowels reminds me of this gem of a kids book
@ahchay I’m a scary, sleek, sharp-eyed hunting machine!!
@owlsintowels kind of insulting to wrap him in depictions of his prey!
@owlsintowels Good luck staying alive after the wrapper comes off.

@owlsintowels

Is that a wrapped raptor, or a raptor wrap?

Either way, do not want to order one.

@owlsintowels It has the same look in its eyes as my cat every other day when she realizes that there will be no fish in her bowl today. She then sits down in front of her regular food bowl staring at one of us for 1 minute before eating her crappy dry pellets.
@owlsintowels UNHAND ME, HUMAN! RIGHT THIS INSTANCE!

@owlsintowels

Well, I would be like that too if you caught me and wrapped me up to weigh me!

@owlsintowels the mouse wrap is just insulting, lol
@owlsintowels That is not aggression. It's fear. Small animals desperately lash out at HUGE aggressors or captors hoping to escape. It's FEAR.
@owlsintowels @Ruth_Mottram I’m 100% flying razor blades!!!! You will live to regret this day!!!!
