funny funny scene- To me, this was just a perfectly done/acted movie- Even that witness, a movie regular actor- been in lots of great movies- was great- great choice for that part- I’m not big on ‘modern movies’ much, but this one was an exception (even though years old now )

This movie ranks up there as one of the best in my opinion

He reminds me of that little Chicken Hawk that’s always bedeviling Foghorn Leghorn! ;)

I’m thinking that even if he is so small, he could probably chomp off a finger if need be!

I had a Great Horned Owl in my chicken coop one evening, 2am and ‘my girls’ were making a fuss. Grabbed my BB gun and ran down there and there was the owl on the perch, with my girls on either side of him, LOL! Just sitting there, enjoying their company.

I’m sure he was thinking of having a SNACK before I showed up. We shooed him out, and it’s true - the wingspan is amazingly HUGE and the flapping of his wings was completely SILENT.

So cool to have seen that!

You were created by the All Powerful. That you have found your purpose, rejoice that you’ve been enlightened. Many go through life uncertain as to what their purpose might be.

That such a wise contributor is seen on these pages gives us
encouragement and a hope to understanding.

“Don’t say I never said anything practical or useful in my posts.”

Thank you.
A good entry point to find fun bits.

What happens to the indigestible material?
Indigestible material left in the gizzard such as teeth, skulls, claws, and feathers are too dangerous to pass through the rest of the owl’s digestive tract. To safely excrete this material, the owl’s gizzard compacts it into a tight pellet that the owl regurgitates. The regurgitated pellets are known as owl pellets.

Hubby and I spent a good bit of lockdown putting together a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle of Bosch’s triptych.

Lots of owls in it.

Boy, was that dude bent. Though not because of the owls.

The regurgitated pellets are known as owl pellets.

Thanks.

Maybe someday I can win the big prize with that answer in a quiz show like in National Lampoon's European Vacation.

Kinda like moose nuggets

They make cute ear rings.
