    I don’t know why, but this is absolutely hilarious to me

    That bird had legs that wouldn’t quit, and an unblinking stare that looked right into your soul. She kept pleading with me to tell her “Who? Who?” but I had no answers.

    Why do I have the vague urge to report this image to the authorities?

    You know seeing how you phrased the sentence, I know intuitively that it should be long, skinny legs instead of skinny long legs but I’m not sure why

      There’s actually a “proper” order of adjectives in English!

      https://www.csmonitor.com/The-Culture/In-a-Word/2021/0921/Explaining-the-royal-order-of-adjective-placement

      It’s not something ever learn directly, but nonetheless we all seem to inherently know it. Why this order? Who knows! It’s one of many weird quirks of our language (and some others). It’s certainly a hard thing for non-native speakers to pick up on.

        I honestly wouldn’t blame anyone who just rage quits English upon getting to this lesson in ESL class.

          english isn’t special all languages have this

          how do you think anglophones feel when they learn french and have to say “small balloon red”?

    Why is it chained up like that?

      Those are jesses used to let the handlers keep ahold of the bird while on their glove, as well as tether the bird to a perch. So basically the bird version of a leash.

        Or to keep it from clawing its handler to death for exposing his secret.

    Afair, almost all owls are 90% legs and a big feathered head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUlCLi5i3GM

      With their tongues.

      So 1: this appears to be someone’s pet so not cool

      2: doesn’t look like there’s be much meat to taste
