Hi folks,
So my sister is a zookeeper and takes care of the birds. She often sends pictures.
This is Baked Beans. He is a baby screech owl and is being raised for the zoo's ambassador bird program.
I would die for Beans.

Beans on a hand, for scale reference. He is just too darn cute.

For more Beans the Owl content, follow #BakedBeansOwl. I'll post more pics on this thread as I get them (though we'll probably see a lot in the next week or so. I've got a few months backlog)
Also keep an eye out for other fun bird posts. The zoo also has a wonderful Tawny Frogmouth that I adore, and a baby flamingo that goes on walks around the zoo.
Plus I have a bunch of pictures of a baby barn owl they raised this spring. I'll try to attach them here or at least let you know the hashtag

Hi folks. Would you like more #BakedBeansOwl content? Because good news! We have more Beans pictures! He's about a month older in this picture and losing some of his baby appearance.
Beans is fierce! Beans is majestic! Beans is maybe 7 inches tall!
Don't mess with Baked Beans.

Hey y'all, wanna know what a disgruntled baby owl looks like?
Well, someone opened the refrigerator near Beans. This is his disgruntled face.
Ruffled is a good word here.

Baby owls, not always cute. Sometimes, they look like death warmed over, right after waking up but before the coffee is ready.
My sister calls this his "mouldy strawberry" phase.
Anyway, here's another picture of Beans taken the same day as the previous post. I don't think he's quite awake yet

My friends, as it is Superb Owl day, I would like to show a more recent picture of Baked Beans, taken back in January. He now has his adult plumage and is quite majestic, particularly since he's all sticky-uppy. He was being taken past the gorilla play room and did not like the gorillas.

Heyguysheyguysheyguys
LOOK AT THIS OWL! HE IS SO UPSETTY!!!
There are 2 baby penguins who are staying in a pen in the hall. They're also going to be ambassador birds, so all the keepers are encouraged to pick them up and cuddle them multiple times a day to get them used to people.
BEANS DOES NOT LIKE THE BABY PENGUINS.

Y'all, #BakedBeansOwl is still so angry. How dare those penguin chicks come in and be cute?!?!?
