I heard it's Superb Owl Sunday so I have prepared some superb owls for you.
Tumblr media
The barn owl is the most widespread species of owl, living on every continent except Antarctica. Their faces are shaped like a disk to help their hearing, giving them some of the best hearing of any owl. They mostly hunt by sound.
Tumblr media
Snowy owls are the largest arctic predatory birds, They are born with black feathers and get whiter as they age. Females usually have more dark feathers than males.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eastern screech owls have a few feather variants that make them look like completely different species.
Tumblr media
The southern white-faced owl can increase its metabolic rate during winter to compensate for the cold and lack of food. They lay their eggs in nests built and abandoned by other birds.
Tumblr media
The great grey owl is the largest owl by length, but a lot of that is feathers and they're actually very light for their size. Their hearing is good enough to hear rodents burrowing through snow and they can break through hard-packed snow to catch prey.
Tumblr media
Blakiston's fish owl is the largest owl by mass and eats mostly fish. Despite the name, they may be more closely related to eagle owls than fish owls.
Tumblr media
The elf owl is the smallest owl species, barely larger than a sparrow. They hunt bugs and play dead when caught. They like to live in holes in saguaro cacti.
Tumblr media
Burrowing owls live in underground burrows. While they can dig, they mostly take over burrows from other animals. Farmers killing prairie dogs has severely reduced burrowing owl populations. They decorate their burrows with feces to attract bugs to eat.
The barking owl is called that because

Its nice to have a day to appreciate superb owls. Feel free to spread the love by reblogging with some more owl facts.

A Barking Owl! "Mulurrku" in the language of the Yanyuwa people.
A bird of prey with an arsenal of odd noises! They have been described as creating sounds from Barking like canines to screaming like an unholy woman. Their sound has also been attributed to the Australian Cryptid, the Bunyip!
An extra fact is that I have a few vocal tics (Makes nature photography real fun) and one of my common ones is a "Woo-Woo-Woo" sound. When this owl made a very similar noise, I felt raw joy exude from my mother who has now taken to calling it my owl noise.

I used to have a zoo membership, and during a display of predatory birds, I was there with my at the time six year old. We both drew the Barking Owl who was a really gorgeous little creature there.
The keepers saw us working on trying to capture it while in the audience, and brought us back behind to meet the owl personally!

Even if the strike is over, don't suddenly go silent. Every moment you aren't speaking up or doing something is more Palestinians being murdered and having their land and their culture bulldozed and silenced. They deserve liberation and the freedom to live in the land their ancestors have ALWAYS occupied. Keep speaking out, keep being angry, and keep fighting to help someone your age who don't have the privilege to even see this post, to use this site, or to eat the dinner or be sitting on the bed you're currently allowed to as you see this. They and their families are dying.
Neutrality is NOT helpful or productive. Neutrality is siding with the oppressors, regardless of your words. Neutrality is standing back because a matter "doesn't concern you", "isnt your place", or you "dont like politics", which allows innocent civilians to be brutalized and murdered and starved. Talk to friends and family. Stop turning to celebrities to provide you with facts and opinions on the situation. Take accountability and action for yourself amidst this crisis

Vee Future Design Art…
For the soul she is so precious….
Vee headcanons because I can’t stop thinking about her:
-Vee is like Demi-Girl or Demi-Gender she can’t decide and neither can I!
-She/They pronouns for them <33
-Lesbian Vee IS REAL!!!!
-I like to think that sometimes she struggles with like flashbacks and stuff so she misses a lot of school, but the gang is cool with it they understand ( Vee may have let the shapeshifter thing slip out to Masha and the gang )
-Vee also has a flapjack tattoo!! It’s just hidden ( probably on her ankle or leg somewhere )
-They also totally want cute small tattoos everywhere where as Masha is like “ermmmm actually I think we should both get MASSIVE sleeves together”
Image ID: A digital drawing of two halfbodies of Vee Noceda from the Owl House. In the drawing on the left, she is holding Owlbert, a small brown owl made of wood, and she is smiling. She has long yellow and teal hair, and fluffy animal like ears. They are wearing a red shirt, black cardigan and gray pants. On the drawing on the right, Vee is smiling widely and has her eyes closed. She is in a graduation gown and is holding her high school diploma.
