I know I’m too late for #superb_owl_sunday but I happened to look up when I was out for a walk and there was a very superb owl sitting in the tree above me

@ct_bergstrom I felt the same but I’m posting this beauty just because #Superb_Owl #Superb_Owl_Sunday #SuperbOwls #OwlCat #CatsOfMastodon #Cats #FredTheWonderCat (OwlCat version)
🤣 🤣 🤣

Fred the wonder cat photoshopped as an owl cat (an owl perched on a branch with Fred’s face)

On tonights #monsterdon, Dolph Lundgren's He-Man beefs his way through his own movie as a side character, next to Monica Geller, Tom Paris and a jazzy synth troll.

The second movie to crack >3000 toots, even on #superb_owl_sunday!

@SordidAmok I'm keen to see #monsterdon in the trending tags tomorrow, but I'm also delighted at the coverage we got for many a #SuperbOwl on #SuperbOwlSunday (aka #superb_owl_sunday and a tag worth clicking!)

I asked him if he wanted to watch the game and he just gave me the stink eye

B/W photo by Michel Sima, 1946: Picasso holding his pet owl Ubu in front of a painting featuring his little friend (Owl on a Chair and Sea Urchins, 1946) 1946) “While Pablo was still working at the Musée d’Antibes, [Michel] Sima had come to us one day with a little owl he had found in the corner of the museum. One of his claws had been injured. We bandaged it and gradually it healed. We bought a cage for him and when we returned to Paris we brought him back with us and put him in the kitchen with the canaries, the pigeons, the turtledoves. We were very nice to him but he only glared at us. Any time we went into the kitchen, the canaries chirped, the pigeons cooed and the turtledoves laughed but the owl remained stolidly silent or, at best, snorted. He smelled awful and ate nothing but mice. […] Every time the owl snorted at Pablo he would shout, ‘Cochon, Merde,’ and a few other obscenities, just to show the owl that he was even worse mannered than he was.” — Françoise Gilot, as quoted in _A Picasso Bestiary_

12 years ago a small parliament of Superb Owls (Of the Eastern Screech Owl variety) nested in a tree by my house for a couple months. I wish I had been able to get better pictures.
