This Little Rᴇsᴄᴜᴇ Owl Needed A Bath, And The Photos Are Oddly Adorable

In the snaps, which have sent Twitter into hysterics, the owl is seen looking unimpressed with his feathers stuck to his body, before being restored to full glory after a blow dry. People found the difference between the two pictures hilarious, with some saying they’d never seen a wet owl before.

The owl is a type of small owl called a morepork. He is a patient of the Massey Wildbase Animal Hospital in New Zealand. He had a mild skin ɪɴꜰᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ that made him irritated. That’s why he needs a bath. Fortunately for the little owl, this ᴅɪsᴇᴀsᴇ is relatively easy to treat.
