Hi! my name is Orly, and im a wee-little owl.I hang out in the parking lot of a supermarket, and i have one leg.
i'm adorible ^_^
OMGWTFCUTE.
<3
is he a burrowing owl??
>>60299i did a bit poking around the interwebs, and i'm pretty sure he's a Northern Pygmy Owl (cos i live in Sacramento CA)
Unless you see him hopping around on just one leg, it's more likely he was just standing in place with one leg raised.
/r/ing a hi-res of the last one? He's so cute.
>>60304yeah i saw him hopping about...=/ its sad
take it home and take care of it or something o_0 IT GONNA GET HIT BY A CAR
?
Does it really have one leg, or is it just cold? That looks like a burrowing owl, I assume you live in the desert by the plants there.
Awwww... that's so cuuuuuute... Poor Orly... :(
thats so sad. call the humane society, maybe they have some kind of program where they catch them and release them into a wild habitat
>>60412nope, Sacramento CA! We're the city of trees!i think i may call the humane society...
>>60303disregard that, I SUCK COCKS.I just got e-mailed by 13 Sac-area birders regarding the fact that it IS indeed a burrowing owl. Apperently they're becoming difficult to find in our area...so i'm going to be showing lots of birders! I feel so special ^_^
>>60412and yeah, he's standing on one leg. i fail at lief./wrists.
>>60536I had a blockatiel that would lose one leg or the other when it was cold. Birds do that a lot.
well then this thread is not sad at all! he'll make his way to some nice unfarmed fields soon I think
ZOMG teh cute!!!!
Don't those little owls make a weird sound like people talking? Or am I thinking of a different desert owl?
not sure, i've never actually heard him. i'm thinking of dedicating saturday to sitting and watching him all day...just to see what he's like.<3 <3
>>60839Does he just sit there all day? Or did you take the cute thing somewhere else?
>>60849no, i decided against it... i'm going to talk to some seasoned Bird watchers in my area, and see what they think. I guess they're rare, so moving him may cause more bad than good.
this is pretty awesome, keep us updated okI love living vicariously through stories like this
>>60863a responsible person on /an/...I'm impressed.
I love him!Keep us posted.
>>60877Well, this isn't /b/, so...
