It's beginning to looka lot like Christmas! 'Bandit' the baby boobook owl and 'Gandalf the tawny frogmouth are ready for their first festive season....In our house, we just leave the tree up all year round, and just take the decorations down. The Christmas tree ... is their favourite place to perch.

For a moment I thought we had a rare owl with blue feathers. Nope, just christmas lights.

Still frigging adorable though. Top tier Christmas content.

Blue Owl is one of my pet peeves. Whenever I go seeking out actual news articles on owls, at least 50% of it is stuff about Blue Owl Capital. Everyone knows a true wise owl sticks to low ER broad index funds and has no need for "professional" asset management. ๐Ÿคจ

Ahahaha. I imagine the many companies with owl in their name does mess up your search.

It's why generic names are the worst. I don't care if your company name is a complete nonsense word as long as it's unique and easy to search up.

Yup, at least with some of those barely pronounceable off brands on Amazon, as long as you can spell it, you aren't going to get it confused with something else.

Bandit the baby boobook owl!? That's owliterative!

And Gandalf the tawny frogmouth is a rockstar, obvs.

They grow up so fast though! They are only about 40 days old now. I'm happy we still get updates on them, they are an adorable pair!
