How long will @[email protected] keep posting picture of wood stick before people start to notice?!

Proof that the Flock of Seagulls hairstyle has evolutionary value.

May the owl-boy look have a successful comeback!

Woah those owls don't look real, super cool!

If you think he is out there, check out this little Oriental Bay Owl. He looks out of this world!

He's high on my list of 250+ favorite owls! Nothing else looks like it.

Sexual selection implies that these owls find tree bark sexy on some level

Come on, who isn't into some good tree bark?

It also lets them get some beauty rest during the day, just making them even better looking.

I was going to say this is just him in alert mode, trying to pretend to be a branch. The plan was to show you some pictures of Eurasian Scopses being fluffy and happy, but it seems they always look pretty mad. They do get less creepy looking though... sorta... 😅

It does look a lot more chill in that second to last one, where it’s not being held by its feet. Although then there’s the last one where it looks like a satanic wood chip.
