Taco, Chaco owl having a little sit down
It’s a hard life for a baby owl… holding yourself up on those little legs all day!
Did you know birds can technically “sit down”? Sometimes, especially when they’re babies, they will plonk themselves down on the backs of their legs (the bird equivalent of shins/hocks) to rest their feet. When they’re feeling very lazy, they’ll even lay down on their tummies too!
It is ridiculously adorable and they seem to find it very comfy too!
That’s pretty spot on!
🥰
The feet and beak look so big on him. Such a cutie!
I saw a Chaco at the Carolina Raptor Center and it was one of my first up close owl experiences. It was very captivating and special to me.
A high school friend used to resemble the look. Great guy, introduced me to hip hop.
don’t be sad little guy. it’s gonna be ok 💕
Give him whatever he wants 😭
I know! He’s so cute I could never say no to that face! 🥰
