These orphaned baby burrowing owls, named Linford and Christie after the former British Olympic athlete, were abandoned by their mother and are now being cared for 24 hours a day. That means they get to come home with their keeper, Jimmy Robinson of the Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire, England. Once the owls are fully-grown, they'll join the "Hunters of the Sky" exhibit at the park.
They love to find tiny spaces to hide in, as it's their natural instinct to do so. I wish I had adorable little owls burrowing in my bookshelves!
They see Jimmy as their mother, and follow him around. Here they are perched on his knees as he reads. I'm a bit jealous. Okay, I'm really jealous.
They also love teacups and sugar bowls, like any good British inhabitant should.
