"I'm going to pinch the absolute hell out of you with this"
Though most articles only mention the tremendous strength of the GHO, I did find this care guide for Screech Owls saying to always wear gloves, as the talons can go through a fingernail, so it's probably worse on the meaty bits. ๐ฎ
Getting the owl pinch is definitely not a bucket list item
There's a lot I'd do just to say I had the experience, but even I don't think I'd intentionally go for that one!
