Owls are Freaking Ridiculous

And we all know it. This is where I reblog photos of owls being adorable, silly, creepy, bizarre, and generally just...absurd. NB: I am nowhere close to an owl expert so IDK the species on most of these. If you do, drop an ask (be sure to include which post you're talking about)! OCCASIONALLY TUMBLR LIKES TO LIE TO ME ABOUT WHICH BLOG IT'S QUEUING THINGS FOR, TOO, so I apologise if anything out of place comes up.
