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.

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

Hey y'all, wanna know what a disgruntled baby owl looks like?
Well, someone opened the refrigerator near Beans. This is his disgruntled face.
Ruffled is a good word here.

Beans standing on a leather glove. He is quite ruffled. His ear feathers (did you know owls have movable ear feathers?) are sticking straight up and the feathers on his face between his eyes and around his beak are also sticking straight out, long enough that it's kind of hard to see his beak. He's staring intently at something to the right of the camera. He clutches a small piece of meat in one claw.

This is one of the earliest Beans pictures. He itty! He bitty! He covered in baby fluff!

Look at that little round boi. If you zoom in, he is rockin that 'stache

#BakedBeansOwl #Owl #owls #zoo

A very small owl, maybe 6 inches tall. His silhouette resembles a round ball of a head on top of a slightly longer round ball of a body. His plumage shows he's very young. He's just starting to have real feathers come in. The baby fluff is a light greyish color intermixed with feathers that are just starting to show patterns of light and dark brown horizontal waves. His face is patchy light grey, light brown, and dark brown, and mostly just looks like a mess. Between his eyes looks quite spiky like pins and needles, and kind of looks balding. Besides his beak the feathers are a little more well formed and kind of look like a voluminous mustache. His eyes are very dark and somewhat squinting as regards the observer. He looks like he was recently woken up from bed. My sister calls this his "mouldy strawberry" phase.
His enclosure appears to be a travel crate filled with towels and a water dish and a wooden dowel perch, with a metal grid door on the front — A very small owl, maybe 6 inches tall.
