I would 100% have a barn owl. Even though realistically I know they are better off in the wild, I'm pretty sure we are not talking too realistic here, and their feathers are beautiful and so soft. Their behaviour and adaptations are quite fascinating too.
Barn owls are one of the most unmistakable owl species, with their facial discs taking the shape of a heart, their long legs, and striking plumage. They occur on every continent except Antarctica and are primarily well-acknowledged by their silent flight and outstanding hunting skills. Their biology, behavior, and ecological role may be the reasons why they appear so intriguing . but fr they so good and quite birds/ animals <3
