Those eyes are definitely the defining feature for this photo. Looks fascinating and hope it recovers well.
I have made the correction! I should have taken a photo of the labels but I always just go for the animals and then forget their names later haha. And yes it was taken in Sydney, Australia.
I know the second was the Masked owl because the name and its markings were a perfect match so it stuck in my head. That face is so Mask.
The ~~burrowing~~barking owl definitely. It was the most expressive one and moving its head and looking all smug.
I took several photos trying to find the best smug look. Here's a winkies one.
Went to a small sanctuary. Saw three types of owls. See photos below as my first humble contribution to this community. It was nice to see cool owls. Shitty photos though, sorry. But they were cool. The ~~burrowing~~barking owl was just the cutest little thing.
It has the -_- face.
Those eyes are the void. And you're right about the colour and plump too. You just wanna cuddle them.
That's an amazing case of full body bedhead. Also I too would be grumpy at being woken up. Sleep is precious!
Wow, never really see the photos with the eyes closed as much. Looks like a cheerful old man.
This could be a new mene format. It's just so perfect.
This owl dares you to see it.
He's just having a bad feather day.
It shall burrow into your heart.
