I do believe there are angels among us. For some God puts wings on them, for others he lets their light shine through their spirit and soul.

Saw Whet Owl

Disclaimer: I thought the sentiment of the quote was nice, even though I am not a religious person myself. I hope that isn't an issue to anyone. I know some don't like it, but you can still enjoy the photo itself.

If children's animation has taught me anything, it's that this owl is clearly female

Which owls are you thinking of? The ones off the top of my head (Pooh, Sword in the Stone) are males.

After doing all the research for on here, they probably should have more females, as they are the larger ones and guard the nest, and the males only special job is essentially grocery shopping. 😉

Sorry I edited my comment to be clearer. But you're not wrong that most famous fictional owls are male.
