Andromeda - and her mother, Cassiopeia - who was put in the sky by the Goddess Athena, whose animal is the owl.

Some birbs from 2020! These were fun.
This is a friend’s desert (aka Savigny’s or pharaoh, Bubo ascalaphus) eagle owl who decided the bath pan was for losers and instead bathed in the grass next to the bath pan.
This is the same owl as the one in this post and she (probably a “he”, because it’s so small, but we will just continue saying “she” since the owl doesn’t care one bit) is quite the sweetheart.
As the name suggests, she is a desert species. She gets SUPER excited about water, something Harris’ hawks tend to do as well. We were positing that since they are both desert/arid species, that they would respond quite vigorously to any water they happened to come upon, even in new places where it is a common thing. Harris’ hawks will sometimes stop in the middle of a hunt and bathe in a creek or pond when used in falconry, much to the dismay of their human hunting partner.
Enjoy the derpy owl!

Nicodemus at the beach, keeping pesky gulls away from visitors
My Aunt Julie loves meeting my birds my birds, and every Thanksgiving she takes her annual animal photos with whatever critters I bring home. This year she got to pose with Azel, Kai (who was feeling bratty lol), Zu, and Nicodemus. She’s a champion.
Nicodemus loves sitting on his stump where he can watch us, especially on cool mornings when he can fluff up comfortably. He’s a cool weather bird
