Can I just say it’s hilarious to me that they illustrated this piece with what looks like an eagle owl, which weighs a ton and you seriously would not let sit on your head (ht @HelenZaltzman)https://www.thecut.com/2021/04/salma-hayeks-owl-has-incredibly-good-taste.html …

We worked up from a little owl through a barn owl and various other cool owls to a female Eurasian eagle owl. It was huge! It perched on my arm for a while but not long because it was very heavy. Even through a leather glove its talons were noticeably sharp.

I’d been making conversation and asked “do you show these owls off much?” meaning fairs, falconry displays, etc. He got serious for a moment and said “no, not this one - not the eagle owl”

A while back he was at a country fair where a cocker spaniel got loose and was harassing the birds. The dog attacked the eagle owl, who brainspiked the dog with her HUGE talons, and the dog died. “So we can’t show her off in public because NOW SHE KNOWS SHE CAN KILL DOGS”

Anyway, apparently Salma Hayek’s owl is a southern white faced owl, which looks super cool and beautiful. Dinosaurs will eventually inherit the earth, they’re just playing the long game.
