#black barn owl

During the "Superb Owl" weekend I forgot to post my favorite type of owl.
This is the very rare black barn owl. Barn owls are usually mostly white and light brown. Black barn owls are exceptionally rare. They are the result of a genetic mutation and are often rejected by their mothers.
They can usually only be found raised in captivity.
I think black barn owls very beautiful little birds. They look like the sky at dusk.

I'll leave my love between the stars

I started the year 2021 watching Labyrinth (1986, dir. Jim Henson) and reading its fancomic Girls Next Door (written by Pica-la-Cynique) on deviantArt...
...and I nearly lost my eyes from overuse😆 So of course I had to make a quality fanart. Zoomorphic fanart, what else?

Sarah as the Goblin Queen must be able to change into an owl as well as the Goblin King obviously. Black barn owl specifically because she is a brunette.

Okay, this is…way outside of my usual.
First of all, animal tax for taking your time (more photos further down I can’t format worth anything lol)
Tumblr media
I volunteer with a local wildlife rehabilitation center. The only state, federal, and USDA licensed one in the upper 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle, although we have cared for animals from all over the state. We’ve had everything from half-tamed bengal cats come in from a hoarder’s house to a million and one orphaned starlings in our doors.
There’s always a lot of animals, no matter what, because unfortunately the education towards wildlife in this area is exceedingly poor and most people are either afraid of most animals or see them as nothing more than pests. We’ve had a fair number of animals shot, poisoned, trapped, the parents killed and then the land/homeowner finds the nest of babies…the list goes on.
To combat this, we have always pushed education. We have programs all across the area, we go to schools and churches and scout groups. We’re currently working on building an education building, both to give our educational ambassadors larger and nicer habitats to live in and to have a place to hold events for the community. As the founder of the center always says, “You can’t love what you don’t know”.
This building is by no means cheap. We’re getting close to having it fully funded, but we’re short by several thousand dollars.
Currently, we are having our biggest donation drive of the year, and our goal is to try to have most of the education building paid off from this. We’re also having a bit of a friendly competition among the volunteers to see who can get the most donations.
The best part of this is no matter how small the donation may be, we have donors who are going to amplify the donations. So even if you only give a small amount, it will be worth a lot more!

To donate, go here.
Thank you in advance to everyone who gives or reblogs to spread this!
The promised animal tax:

This whole time, every time I saw this owl picture on social media, I thought this pretty owl was photoshopped. No. It turns out he's a rare "Black Barn owl." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHgCjoWiaSk
youtube
1 in a 100,000 barn owls are born with the melanistic gene (meaning they turn out black instead of white).
And usually the poor hatchling is rejected by the mother and either killed by her or thrown out of the nest (according to this bird expert in the attached video).
I know that it was proven false in regard to white ravens being rejected and that albino ravens are NOT killed by their mothers (that one is a myth) but it seems mother barn owls aren't as kind as ravens. I kind of hope that this one is proven to be false too. The one in the video was born in captivity.
Barn owls are usually mostly white. The black ones are so pretty, I think I have a new favorite bird. They look like they're made of the night sky. It's sad that the black ones can only live in captivity because they are rejected by their mothers and become targets of other birds in the wild. Poor little, pretty, outcasts.
All because they look like they were painted with the night's paint brush. It's supposedly a rare mutation but honestly, you'd think the black barn owl coloring would make night hunting easier.

i know you have a lot of requests already but i love your emojis so if i could make a request- could you do a self-wing-hug and a winged hug with barn owl wings?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and if you could draw a happy person with really puffed up wings that says "wings fluffy!" (when i'm happy and my wings are fluffy it's the best!!)
thank you!!!

In a lot of art pieces my sona looks very tidy and pretty and all that, here's a biblically accurate Ieva who looks more like a goth hag than a goth queen with more piercings than was last drawn because fuck you I like them and also shiny stuff I grab that on first sight I just decided to go brain off with this piece to relax but will use it to grab your attention (it's mine now) and tell you to watch me play the Baltic Trackmania League ELITE DIVISION group stage, essentially, that owl you see there got among the top 16 best players of the Baltic Region (wow!!!!! and wtf how???) Match happens at 12:00 Eastern European Summer Time on the 3rd of Pride month and will be livestreamed @ https://www.twitch.tv/fastpointgg (I think)
Be there or else.
