Hi folks,
So my sister is a zookeeper and takes care of the birds. She often sends pictures.

This is Baked Beans. He is a baby screech owl and is being raised for the zoo's ambassador bird program.
I would die for Beans.

#BakedBeansOwl #owls #screechowls #zoo

A very small, unbelievably cute screech owl baby, maybe 5 or 6 inches tall. He's old enough that his feathers have recently come in but he's still developing his adult coloration. He has enormous dark eyes and a light brown mask around them. His belly is a wavy pattern of white and light brown. You can't see it, but his back is a little darker, the color of baked beans, which gave him his name. He sits in the corner of a painted cinder block room on top of towels on the floor, with a water bowl next to him

Beans on a hand, for scale reference. He is just too darn cute.

Beans the owl is now sitting on someone's hand in a meeting room. He's slightly larger than the hand would be if it were held up vertically. He has a small leather tie attached to his leg which is also wrapped around the hand's pinky. He is looking inquisitively at something to the top right of the camera.

For more Beans the Owl content, follow #BakedBeansOwl. I'll post more pics on this thread as I get them (though we'll probably see a lot in the next week or so. I've got a few months backlog)
Also keep an eye out for other fun bird posts. The zoo also has a wonderful Tawny Frogmouth that I adore, and a baby flamingo that goes on walks around the zoo.
Plus I have a bunch of pictures of a baby barn owl they raised this spring. I'll try to attach them here or at least let you know the hashtag

Hi folks. Would you like more #BakedBeansOwl content? Because good news! We have more Beans pictures! He's about a month older in this picture and losing some of his baby appearance.
Beans is fierce! Beans is majestic! Beans is maybe 7 inches tall!
Don't mess with Baked Beans.

The tiny screech owl, Baked Beans, sitting on a horizontal pole covered in fake grass. He is staring angrily at the camera. He has very large dark eyes with golden rings around the edges. His face feathers look like he has white eyebrows and is glaring angrily. His head is an orangy tan, and there's a dark line of brown ringing his neck. His front is mostly white with dark brown streaks.
