'Bandit' the 15 day old Southern boobook owl and "Gandalf the 24 day old tawny frogmouth. Their growth rate is nothing short of magic!

Forgive my oversight!

Southern Boobook (boobooks are the hawk-owls of Australia and Southeast Asia)

Tawny Frogmouth (not an owl, but sometimes mistaken for one due to its stocky build, coloration ,and nocturnal habits.

If you haven't gone to the Owl of the Year thread yet, the Oriental Bay Owl is one of my top choices for most alien bird.
