Who knew that “Boots with the fur” could apply to… owls<\/a>? While it might be more accurate to change the lyric to feathers, one snowy owl positively rocks her stylish fuzzy feet. The video, posted by the Oregon Zoo, showcases a particularly fashionable avian.<\/p>\n

The caption explains, “Snowy owls are almost completely covered in downy feathers, from their beaks all the way down to their fluffy feet!” Just as the song says, we can’t look away from this beauty in boots.<\/p>\n

The commenters couldn’t get enough of the bird, nicknamed Hedwig by a few after the famous snowy owl from the Harry Potter series. “OMG GIRL I LOVE YOUR BOOTS!!” @grizzlyalmighty2 chimed in. Same.<\/p>\n

Viewer @kimpossible also appreciated the moves, “And now I know unequivocally that even owls have better dance skills than me, and they come with their own ‘boots with the fur!'” This flyer definitely knows how to get down, so to speak.<\/p>\n

One viewer, @ladyinred, clearly articulated what we have all been thinking, “Zoo social<\/a> media was one of the best things to come out of the pandemic era.” There’s honestly nothing we’d rather be doing than watching cute zoo animal videos all day. Although @\u1d1c\u0280\ua731\u1d1c\ua731 had a good point with, “I’m not watching this because that song will be stuck in my head for the next thousand years.” Too late!<\/p>\n

More About Owl Feathers<\/p>\n

Baby owls don’t even have feathers and instead hatch entirely covered in down! That means they’re extra soft, fuzzy, and adorable. But over time some of the down falls out and adult feathers come in. Grown owls actually have five different types<\/a> of feathers. This unique array helps them fly silently through the air and gives them their stealthy reputation.<\/p>\n

Snowy owls, in particular, have mastered the hushed glide in part because their wingspan reaches up to five feet<\/a>. They need this skill because, unlike most owls, they aren’t nocturnal and hunt during the day. The all-white plumage helps them blend in as well (females tend to be the ones with markings). Luckily, the pretty birdie in this clip doesn’t mind standing out.<\/p>\n
