I bet he just reads it for the articles.
Realistically, most of those birds probably look like food to the owl.
It would like us going through a book of mammals and getting horny. Who would do that? Oh... well
I bet he has an account on...
OnlySpans
OwlySpans*
The plumage don't enter into it! (clearly this owl is in denial about their actual kinks)
Can anyone verify page 236?
I guess one good tern deserves another
You like that thick black bill and those long black legs, don’t you? 👀
Sauce?
Sibley guide to Birds. It’s right on the spine ;)
Males are the ones who have to prove themselves to the females in the animal kingdom for the most part I believe, so a male owl would probably not care about a females wingspan, much like in humans 👀
Although some species it seems to be whichever male can fight off the other males gets the females…all of them lol… but I imagine if the male is a jerk the females could simply walk into another males territory…
so a male owl would probably not care about a females wingspan, much like in humans 👀
Wait, you people don't care about your partners wingspan?
Bar owls really are so beautiful.
