Came upon this cute photo of a Tawny Owl in one of the owl spam feeds, so no info or origin or anything.

Captive owls need mental stimulation like anyone else, so they are given objects they are unfamiliar with so they can explore them and interact with them.

RaptorTAG has a Google Doc with tons of enrichment ideas for raptors if you’re curious.

    We think Amari the Milky Eagle Owl has taken a liking to her broccoli enrichment!

    Giving our birds items they would not usually interact with, challenges their brains, and bodies! The broccoli İs not part of their diet, just for fun, but is not harmful if small parts are consumed.

      I know that this one is practicing killing but the derpiness is too strong. 🥰

        I don’t think there’s a more perfect owl to do a broccoli murder booty dance than a Milky Eagle Owl!
