The face my niece makes when she's about to ask for something. I can't say no.
Can I haz mouwz plz?
Omg it's so cute
They are probably my favorite of the super small owls. They have so much character and charm! 🥰
I definitely agree :)
This is the most adorable thing I have ever seen.
It's one heck of a cutie. I've been enjoying all the baby Saw Whets recently.
Say What?
I don't know if we've covered why it's called a Saw Whet or not. It's said to be that its call sounds similar to the sound of the lumberjacks sharpening their saw blades in the forests where these owls come from.
Whet means to sharpen. So this is the owl that sounds like it's sharpening a saw.
This is the most appropriate saw sharpening sound I could find. Way back when, I'm sure they were using much larger saws, so the pitch would be different, but this seems close enough.
