He was a big boy! Males are apparently smaller than females too? And he's a boy

I could just look into those big amber eyes all day... so stunning... and he let his handler do pretty much anything with his beak and feet, etc!

Well females are larger than males in almost all species of raptor. I'm not sure but I think there is one member of the kite family where that may differ..... Not sure!!

There sooo handsome tho. And totally regal hahaha

I think the Japanese often own them as pets. I saw some Japanese videos on youtube with pet owls. I was shocked. I even saw one get on his back to be cuddled and scratched.

I know bird of prey very well, it's definitely a Eurasian eagle owl(European owl). Like most raptors, the females are approximately 1/3 larger than males. They're amazing birds, one of the largest owls.
