I know that I have definitely seen birds nibbling at each other socially so I'd like to believe this person is right and that owl loves his little human
optimisticfox
P.S. Careful, the bird bites
ArcLightCRO
As a bird lover and owner for more then 20 years the text is right. Puffing up, hissing and spreading the wings are usual threat displays.

You're rolling the dice on this one. That owl could tear her apart. Yes its cute but I wouldn't let my kid hug that killing machine.

The stupid and self righteousness of people scares me... also, adorable owl and little girl is adorable
Edwardius
Seriously if this owl was upset, it'd draw blood and remove flesh. This owl is not upset.

Girl loves her sky-murder-floof
ToxicCupcake79
Cute and all, but what happens when it's tired of getting hugged and pecks her eye out? They will blame the owl.
XanderCorsaj
Owl kisses are the pointiest pf kisses
lemonwaterice
Imgur, stop making want to adopt a variety of murder beasts.
TrustMeImADragon
No.

I love how gentle she is being!

There might be some friendly exceptions out there. As a rule, keep the wild animals in the wild and out of the house.

Those talons

I'm upvoting everyone, even people who don't think the owl is happy, because I'm drunk, and because I love you all for getting me to fp
Loatiwastaken
I just want to be drunk as well
BIMgirl
What breed of cat is this?
sangatiche

ButtsMcGee86
The flying type.
LizardEnterprises
Not sure actually, Owl get back to you on that.
xapthania
This is astounding, was really worried the owl was about to flip out; really damn happy to be wrong! But i love how lightly the kid hugged!
Calcifiera
Agreed. A lot of the times kids dont know how to treat animals nicely unless they grew with them from a very young age. Good on her parents.
monsieurpoopyhead
Look how gentle the child is with the owl!
GregMustang
Well...I have a fish that sings " dont worry be happy"

I've got a crab that won't fucking shut up about being down where it's wetter.

Watch out, that is actually a fish threat display.

This is just rape. The owl said no but she kept on forcing herself until the owl gave up. Absolutely disgusting behaviour. [/sarcasm]
CrazyUncleBuck
Still who lets there kid near those evil balls of hate. See those talons?
ghosthendrikson
While I'm no expert, I do believe vodka tastes delicious.
OfficerFuckinFancyPants
No owls are not a social species and do not prune eachother.
Mambacandy
THANK YOU! Everytime I see this image I rage about it. It's not cute, it's bloody stupid.

Orly?
realGeorgelucas
Ya rly!
Shadowfax781
It's an old reference, but it checks out.
magellan007
That owl's face is the same as a cat tolerating unwanted affection.
Bencifer
Yes. Let us listen to the random person from the internet when we've been displayed facts and refuse to listen.
dannicusrex
I fucking love Owls.
DonnaNobleHasLeftTheLibrary
Hedwig used to nibble Harry affectionately all the time, so I'm going to go ahead an assume that JK Rowling did her research.
tresjoe
owls are very affectionate!
MRWmyusernamewasavailable
As a guy who owns a macaw, you never know when they might decide to just poke your eyeball out
kecker
Yeah, my buddy has a macaw. I've seen it go from "I love you" to "FUCK YOU!!" in 0.00002 seconds with his wife.
r2linad2
As someone who had an African Grey, I agree.
HarryFrumvrk
This.
usernaimunavailable
I remember Steve Irwin say he'd rather a croc than mess with a bird.You at least know a croc will always bite,birds are unpredictable
OfficerFuckinFancyPants
Too bad. Unfortunately he misjudged his entry when interacting with that stingray.
TheOldNewSlowFast
I find bird to be predictable.Preheat oven to 450 and cook for 10-15 minutes.Then reduce the temp to 350 and roast for 20 minutes per pound.
babysaidmaybe
My friend has a macaw that attacked his girlfriend out of jealousy. He tried ripping her hair out and even drew blood. His name is Zeke.

Mine tried to take off my finger when I had to rehome him. Birds are assholes.
renkage098
But what's the bird's name?

I remembered that Owl expert that posted here long ago
uskglass
I really want to hear her opinion of this, her post made a lot of sense though she did distinguish between wild and human-bonded owls.
cowpiefatty
Same I always thought it was slightly fishy though
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
No, that post was accurate. The message wasnt "all owls you see with people are unhappy" it was "you dont need an owl as a pet", with (1)
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
examples of popular gifs used to show stredded behavior we usually interpret as cute. (2/2)
srslydude
"...used to show stressed behavior..." I believe is what you mean.
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
yeah, sorry dude
cowpiefatty
ahh makes sense but it did seem pretty all owls are unhappy in some way
