Cute Murder Machine

A small Northern Saw-whet Owl is wrapped in a white cloth, with only her face visible. The arrangement of fabric could be mistaken for a white rose, albeit one with large round eyes and yellow irises. Her head feathers are a mix of light tan and white with dark streaks. The rictal bristles around her beak are very thin, and look kind of like those wire head massagers. The person holding the owl is wearing a dark jacket in the background but the focus is entirely on the owl, which looks alert and curious.
