Give a hoot

Owls are so having their moment. First, our very own Kat wrote about Keep Company’s Ashley Macomber-designed owl hoodie, which I contemplate buying every other day. Then Chocosho graced us with Three Delight’s silkscreened Hooty Hoo tee and Llama Yacht’s (sadly sold-out) vintage-corduroy and felt appliqué Owl Bag. And now I’ve just discovered FluffyCo’s owl night dress, a black American Apparel jersey-cotton t-dress emblazoned with silver bird-of-prey in flight. FluffyCo lists the supercheap dress in its “jammies” category, but we think it totally works as going-out attire for most any nocturnal wandering.

Here are some fun owl facts, courtesy (in part) of Defenders of Wildlife:

-Owls can turn their heads as much as 270 degrees in either direction.
-Owls’ eyes constitute up to 5 percent of their body weight, taking up so much skull space that there’s little room for gray matter.
-One of my favorite Mary Timony songs is “The Owl’s Escape,” off The Golden Dove
-Owls swallow their prey whole.
-According to Polish folklore, owls don’t come out during the day because their beauty would cause them to be mobbed by other jealous birds.
-These are the cutest owls I could find online:
