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!
