I really like the cosmic look of the Barn Owl spots and this picture shows it off nicely. His profile was funny too.
Remi is a male Barn Owl that was born in captivity to become a raptor education ambassador. He came to us in September of 2017 as an owlet and is our resident jokester. Remi enjoys screeching at night when you least expect it and always waits until he’s in the car to cough up his pellets.

Lol, now that you bring that up, I never thought about that before!
always waits until he’s in the car to cough up his pellets.
Sounds like he gets car sick.
You got me a bit curious if it was voluntary out not, so if checked it out.
Regurgitation happens about twice a day and is timed with the two nocturnal hunting cycles of the owl. Regurgitation also happens when the owl wants it to. That is, it is voluntary, and so under the owl’s control.
Maybe he knows he’s headed off to an event where he’ll get treats for his participation, so he wants his belly to be ready.
Hah, love it!
This one is my fav for most owlish.
