I also feel this way to an extent, which feels bad! I just want him to have a long and satisfying owl life.

Every owls dies, not every owl really lives.
A few pictures in honor of Superb Owl Sunday. These are from Philippe De-Bruyne, a Quebecois nature photographer.

Would you even say that they're superb?
They totally are!
Sad news, friends. Flaco, who flew away with all our hearts, is dead after colliding with a building.
Goodbye, Flaco. Thank you for delighting us for a year straight.

Oh no! Poor Flaco! NYC must be a tough place for an owl—all those glass towers.
God fucking dammit

Works for me (in more ways than one).
Yeah, that’s fantastic. The greatest photobomb.
Maybe this answers why: they all flew away.
The garbage can in our kitchen is right next to a window looking out the back of the house, and earlier today when I was throwing something away I noticed something mostly blue sitting on a cable with its back towards me. I thought it might be a parrot at first, but once it turned around I saw that it was a kestrel! (More accurately, neither I nor my girlfriend knew what it was, but the Merlin app was able to ID even with a super zoomed in picture taken through the window.) As far as I'm aware I've never seen one of these guys before; certainly didn't expect to find one in the middle of Brooklyn. I still feel pretty lucky!
Wish I could've taken a picture that's actually worth sharing, but you'll have to settle for a good picture someone else took instead.

That’s amazing! Be well, Brooklyn kestrel!

One of my favorite bird facts is that falcons aren't actually related to hawks and other raptors, they're actually an offshoot from parrots. Little murder parrots! So in a sense, you weren't wrong!
New bird knowledge unlocked!
