Owl’s might not look as ferocious as a lion, however, their razor sharp beaks and talons make them skilled predators. Despite being an incredible hunter, this owl shows off his affectionate side by letting a little girl give him hugs and kisses.
In the video, the owl patiently stands on a table while a little girl pats his head, and even wraps her arms around him.
At first the owl seems a little unsure of his tiny human friend’s hugs, but is comforted by a few gentle pats on the head.
This owl harmlessly nibbles on the girls cheek and jaw, which is one way owls show affection.
Watch the entire video below to see this owl show his affectionate side.
