anthropomorphizedOoo… Share a little bias with us, as a treat. Good luck! The comments have been extra fun so far this year. You’ve created a great place here
I share a little of my personal opinions in once matches are over. There are always outcomes that surprise me.
I try to not influence them while they are running. Like anyone, I have my favorites and ones that don’t really excite me, but the game is for you guys, not me. I have the rest of the year to highlight things I like or to show you things I think you might like, but Owl of the Year is a time for you all, the ones that comment and the lurkers, to show me what you like.
If you guys are bored of something, or if the bulk of you are all of a sudden into more rare owls, this lets me know.
I am thoroughly enjoying the Burrowing Owl campaign. I don’t understand why they perform so poorly in OoTY, it is very odd. They must be easy to find bc they’re in every nature documentary, maybe they’re too well known, like Snowy, and this comm is more enchanted by the strigiformes they have less experience with. My big idea is that BO is playing a totally different game. They play a team sport, most owls play singles or doubles tennis, BO plays mesomerican ball game or Rugby, hacky sac? They don’t even live around trees. Maybe the most expressive body language? Which is probably due to the social creatures with whom they coexist. They’re crust punk squatters and don’t even care about competition anyway.

Yup, Burrow Owl results constantly confuse me. They’re some of the most popular the rest of the year and have lots of crossover success in the meme world, and its cousin the Little Owl did so well this year. It is one of life’s great mysteries.
And they do like trees fwiw, another cat-like feature of owls is they often enjoy sitting at the highest spot available.
