i gotta figure out how to repost stuff on instagram. this is my sister. the farm sister. yesterday. they came out in the morning to discover two dead chickens, and their murderer, who was majestically and crankily tangled in the fence. so she put on some gloves and unwrapped him, and they let him go.
Great Horned Owl, majestic and not so great at electric mesh fences.
My fave part of this pic, which is a screenshot so pardon the resolution, is my sister’s shirt, which I desperately wish I owned one like it in my size. In case you can’t make it out, it depicts Princess Leia in a full Disney-like skirt with petticoats, twirling the skirt with one hand as she frolics, blaster in her other hand, among a group of adorable woodland-creature-type aliens with R2-D2 peeking out from behind her.
She doesn’t know where this shirt came from and it doesn’t have a brand name on it.
It’s the perfect outfit to wear to free raptors, I think.
UPDATE:
I did not know this but my older sister also has this identical shirt. She showed this photo to her kids, and they were like, “MOM WHEN DID YOU TOUCH AN OWL”. It fooled all three of them. (Older sister has dark hair, but otherwise very closely resembles littlest sister, above.)
Littlest sister points out (on Facebook) that the owl’s got LEGS, man. Never thought about it, but they’re pretty powerful. When asked if she was afraid it would hurt her, she said no, because the damn thing was exhausted, it had been fighting with their fence all night. She just went slow and was careful, and it had no interest in hurting her, it just wanted to get the fuck away.

Shirt here maybe (not sure what size you need)? I’ll probably be getting one myself :D. http://ift.tt/2bWTeWp
That is indeed the shirt, but it doesn’t come in that fabulous pink color, dang it! (additional hat tip to @ceebee-eebee, who also found the shirt.)
Additional news from the other sister– they weathered the hurricane down in Georgia, it passed over, not much damage, not much flooding, but four inches of rain, and immediately the golf course they live next to was watering the grass. They lost power briefly for unrelated reasons (a car hit a utility pole), but had power today and spent the day building robots out of cardboard boxes. I don’t know why I feel like i have to share all that, but I like to think about these things. I just love that the identical shirts fooled her kids.
