Barn Owl........

they were so adorable, flying around to end up sitting on someone's hand and getting a bit of chicken.

Your focus is sharp and really does this owl justice! Were they free? I see the binding around his legs. I'm hoping he was but is trained for the treats. What a face!

What a beauty.

@elatedpixie They are not free but get to fly around four times a day for treat. Egle encounters is a rescue, rehabilitation and conservation centre. Some of the bird have no feet, one eye, missing claws etc which makes it impossible to survive in nature. They try to rehabilitate asap and release the ones that will survive. You can check it out if interested.
