WINNER: WHITE FACED SCOPS OWL 77-34

If you like small and cute, but want something a little more complex and perky than your regular little brown owl, you couldn't ask for anything more than all the Saw Whet brings to the party. It is one of the tiniest owls, it comes in a multitude of patterns, it's chubby and round. On top of that, it has all the other things you love that make an owl an owl. Will this bug eyed little angel be able to beat it's challenger today?

Even with it's glasses, the Spectacular Owl couldn't find a e way to stop the White Faced Scops, losing by a large margin. Looking like a shinier and beefier Screech Owl, White Faced Scops always gets compliments on its look. Some find the vintage moustache irresistible, and I don't blame them. It's known for its shape shifting ability which certainly helped in round 1, but can that trick work a second time, or is Saw Whet just too darn cute?

Had to include that one. All the others are it trying to look so tough, this one was a rare find.

Picture 3 is iconic. Babe looks like fire slizer amirite

I feel it's a good design for a battle mech. Good center of gravity for combat.

Proposed caption for the pictures above: "Do you like me?
Do you like me?
Come on ! I know you actually like me.
Now you do do like me."

You all have gotten so creative this week! I love to see it!

[-] dandroid@dandroid.app 8 points 9 months ago

Oh no. This one is tough....

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Either round little head would look good in that little community icon bubble!

The saw whet perpetually looks like they're saying "WHO‽", but the scoos knows exactly who it is

[-] anon6789@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

No one tops the Scops!

[-] loganberryq@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

White Faced Scops looks unamused that this is even a fair competition. Take the trophy, little guy.
