    ~I am the owl that will fight for your honor
    I’ll be the birdie that you’re dreaming of
    I’ll live forever knowing together that we
    got my picture on cute overloooaaad!~

    XD

    I’ll bet he fights with expert timing, too!

  19. Chris says:

    yeah, and the next part of his sobriety test will be to kindly ask him to recite “hoo hoo” backwards. So far so good tho, he’s steady on his feet and the pupils are NOT dilated this is all looking good for Mr. Woodsie here.

  20. Kar says:

    As cute as that owl is, I’m distracted by that rock. Does it come in Neapolitan too?

  21. AuntieMame says:

    Imagine the Chariots of Fire theme as you look at this picture…

  22. Annie says:

    Rats Now I have Kung Foo Fighting For an Ear worm.

  23. Subhangi says:

    AuntieMame – Right on!

  24. rach3 says:

    I can just hear my ballet teacher calling out “One and a UNFOLD… three and a STREEEETCCCHHH… hold hold hold hold THAT’S IT!” :)

  25. JohnnieCanuck says:

    Hot rock! Oo! Oo! Hot! Hoo!

  26. Hon Glad says:

    Every thing was beautiful at the ballet.

  27. Birdcage says:

    My parrot does that!!! And if he thinks you’re admiring the underside of his wings, he’ll hold the pose for minutes to let you behold the beauty! (Hon Glad – I think you’ll need more owls if you’re going for a full chorus line – 4 boys and 4 girls to be exact).

  28. NoraMaria says:

    I think the “ehn!” perfectly captures the concentration here.

  29. Gail (the first one) says:

    “This is a deceptively difficult position on the balance beam….Miss Owl holds her position, yes it’s perfect…now, all she needs to to stick the landing and she’ll win the gold in the Balance Beam final…”

  30. Theresa says:

    @von Zeppelin– no, Ryan Howard. I can feel the breeze here. :P

  31. jen8 says:

    Yoga Owl in Virabhadra asana variation. Aptly, the flying warrior pose.

  32. Nik says:

  36. T.U.M. says:

    I wonder who would win in an Owls v. Rabbits Disapproving Contest?

  37. Kris says:

    YAY for Chorus Line refs!!!

    Looks like she’s doing an arabasque!

  38. woofysma says:

    “He looks like he’s trying to pass a sobriety test.” I don’t know, Rene, looks to me like he’s trying to pass something else! Look out!

  39. ashagato says:

  40. abad says:

    One leg in the air? I thought only puppehs did that?

  41. Lars_G says:

    His face is a hoot!

  42. Theo says:

    …and his tailfeathers poot.

  43. TiannaBanana says:

    I love it! he looks to me like he is getting ready to slide into the next position of the “Salutation to the Sun” – although I suspect Renee and Theo are closer to the mark on this one. lol
