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.

Baby owls, not always cute. Sometimes, they look like death warmed over, right after waking up but before the coffee is ready.

Anyway, here's another picture of Beans taken the same day as the previous post. I don't think he's quite awake yet
#BakedBeansOwl #owl #owls #zoo

A close up of Beans. His eyes are mostly closed and puffy. You can really see the prickly looking feathers starting to come in around his face. Overall he's the color of dust from under the bed, interspersed with unstmmetric dark patches. Between his eyes the feathers are particularly prickly looking. They're tan with white tips and small black bits, and it kind of looks like he's bald there. The feathers under his eyes are dark, making him look like he has deep bags under his eyes. Overall it reminds me of a cartoon where someone might look comedically horrifying right after they wake up.

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.

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.

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

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

Petite réflexion du samedi matin : pourquoi je n'utilise pas des services comme Deezer ou Spotify pour ma musique ?

Plusieurs raisons.

1. Pour éviter la réduction du champ des possibles

En soirée chez des potes récemment, une playlist a été préparée par notre hôte. On finit par causer goûts musicaux et on écoute les morceaux proposés par les un·es et les autres.

Très peu de mes suggestions étaient disponibles ces plates-formes, même des groupes connus comme par exemple #KingGizzard...

Capture d'écran de l'application Kew sur Linux, permettant de lire de la musique depuis le terminal (système d'exploitation Linux Ubuntu 25.10). Le titre "Planet B" de King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard est en train d'être joué, la pochette de l'album est visible à droite de l'image, réalisée avec des caractères au lieu d'être l'image elle-même (plus geek que ça, tu meurs).

2. Parce que je préfère entretenir ma propre collection de fichiers MP3 et FLAC

J'achète souvent des albums via BandCamp, et parfois je récupère en torrent des vieilleries ou des raretés impossibles désormais à acheter (quelqu'un connaît par exemple #Bachdenkel ou #Zoo, du rock psychédélique des seventies ?).

J'ai ma collection musicale sur un cloud (près de 300 Go). C'est du taf, j'organise tout ça d'une certaine manière,qui me convient à moi et je préfère ça à un service qui gère à ma place.

Capture d'écran de l'application MusikCube depuis un terminal (système d'exploitation Linux Ubuntu 25.10). Il s'agit d'une application textuelle uniquement, qui permet d'écouter sa collection musicale y compris depuis un serveur distant, et qui se pilote au clavier.

Visiting family in the Carolinas for New Year's and had a blast using a 20-year old Nikon at the North Carolina Zoo. I've never been great at photography, but I quite like the idea of snagging my own reference photos for paintings.

If you scratch a Galapagos tortoise on the chin it will extend its neck and legs and often close its eyes, a set of responses called "finching" because it allows finches to land and pick off ticks that might be hidden inside skin folds. #galapagos #tortoise #finches #finching #philadelphia #zoo #birds #parasites #ticks #biology #reptiles
