Nice! Glad I was able to help.

I'm not gay myself, so I wasn't quite sure of some of your descriptors, but for a gay-bro music video night, I felt this would have to at least check some of the boxes.

My best friend's ex-bf was Ukrainian and he showed me music videos for Kazaky. Seemed very gay and the music was cool (synthpop/EDM) and the videos, outfits and dancing seemed really good to me. It made me think of if Lady Gaga did a collar with Rammstein.

It’s easy. You just chip away everything that doesn’t look like an owl.

Lol, my mind must have the graphics chip from an Atari 2600.

Thanks! People seem to be excited about it. I always have higher aspirations than what is probably realistic, so I take their word. I want a mechanical owl leg to show how the talons work so well, but none of us appears to be a roboticist. 🤪

How much worse could they be than our current ones?

Dear c/MegaOwlsAteMyFace, I am the last survivor of my family, but I still think the mega-owls look awesome. No regrets.

I certainly does in this instance! 🥰

I saw a post last week talking about these mega-barns popping up on the US-Cansda border to hold something like 25,000 dairy cows each and the inevitable pollution that was going to make its way into the shared waterways. It sounded pretty serious so I didn't want to make a smartass comment, but my first thought was: what are the chances of this evolving us some mega-barns owls? 🤔😁

 

From Jeremy Johnson

This tiny Western Screech Owl was perched in a saguaro cactus skeleton. Despite their name, they don't really screech - their call is a soft, bouncing trill that drifts through the desert night. Small but fierce, these perfectly camouflaged hunters feed on insects, scorpions, rodents, and even small birds under the moonlight.

A few moments from a Great Gray Owl nest.

The female stays close to the chicks while the male hunts nearby, delivering voles throughout the day.

At this stage the owlets spend much of their time watching and waiting.

ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME.

That is one sassy little Boreal Owl! 🤣

Looking at various specimens of the cup, it looks like there were a lot of happy accidents. Some versions have some pretty funny eyeballs! 😁

It would be awesome to know how to sculpt or carve. The only thing I ever carved was a very minimal fish, though I do love it!

I'm making life sized standies of all 8 owls of Pennsylvania for the clinic open house, and that is proving enough of a challenge for me as it is!

Lol with that username, you should be telling me! 😁

It looks to be beading up nicely in that photo.

I saw no update that it wasn't released, so it likely got set free as planned.

"I dunno... maybe they thought it made it look like an owl this way? You like owls, so we made your owl cups vaguely shared like owls?"

I looked up some other Acropolis owls and I liked this little guy. This site has a neat 3D rotatable scan of it.

From Don Wiggans

I had a lovely day watching the Great Grey Owl fly from one spot to another. The Great Grey Owl has a massive wingspan of about 5 feet. While they have the largest wingspan and body length of any North American owl, their weight is relatively low, generally only 2 to 3 lbs, due to their thick plumage.

Ontario, March 2026

That's 1.5 meters and 0.9-1.3 kilos for the rest of you out there.

Oliver patroling his territory around the transmission tower where Olivia is incubating her eggs. Great Horned Owls are incredibly silent when flying, as its wings are intricately designed for this. A magnificent hunter who is swift and graceful in flight. You are doing great, Oliver! 👏👏👏

 

From Kendra Disilva

As the first faint light of dawn filters in, a red morph eastern screech owl rests deep in his tree hollow, sheltered from the cool morning air. His feathers, a rich russet, contrasts with the bark, while his large, luminous yellow eyes remain wide open, soaking in the first hints of light. In this quiet, hidden place, he watches the world awaken, a secret keeper of the early dawn.

 

From Michel van Nieuwland

Finally managed to photograph these little owls in love together, and in a lovely setting too - sunshine. 😍😊🦉

From Adrian Di Vincenzo

Looking back through my archives late last year I found an image that I can't believe I hadn't seen earlier.

This juvenile Powerful Owl coming into the world with plenty to say. Could possibly be my favourite image yet of this wonderful species. What a moment I nearly missed!

 

From Raptor Center of Tampa Bay

Just thought I would share these three pictures with you as barred owls are beginning to fledge all over Florida. These owls are fairly good climbers and come out of the nest early. These pictures were all taken within 24 hours and you can see based on the posture of the Owl, how different they look. All three pictures are the same bird!
