WINNER: FLAMMULATED OWL 55-52
The first match of the day pits a large owl with small eyes against a small owl with large eyes.
The Great Gray is the second largest owl left in the tournament, longer than the BFO, but not near as massive. GG was a bit polarizing for you guys. Some loved the gentle looking giant, while others couldn't get down with the large facial disc or tiny eyes. Can this big owl win big today?
On the opposite side of the spectrum, we have the second smallest owl left. The Flammulated Owl is just a bit bigger than the Pygmy Owls, the Owlets, and the Elf Owl, but it is still very tiny at 6 in / 15 cm long and 2 oz / 60 grams in weight. That's about the length of a ballpoint pen and the weight of a tennis ball. Somehow this tiny titan was able to slip past the legendary Great Horned Owl in its just match due to its namesake flammulated pattern and big loveable eyes.
You all seem to be favoring a lot of the small owls, but also the large Fish Owls, so I'm not sure how this match will play out. Upvote your favorite below!
Great grey wooo!
Yet another tight race so far! Glad to see the Grey doing well, I feel he gets less love than he deserves most days.
I prefer great horned but great grey is pretty great too
It's not there only great owl left, but it is the only Great owl now that we've had to say goodbye to Horned and Sooty.
This is another hard choice for me, I've been trying to build a fanbase for both of these owls for a bit now.
Aw very sad I missed the horned vote. Its the best owl
Oh no! He literally lost by a single vote too! 🥺
I am very partial to them also. They're good looking, great voice, great power, and they're also the resident owl of the woods around where I live.
Nooooooo :c
I know! Number 2 seeded owl and was in my final 4. Went to a draw with Flammy here and my tiebreaker person picked Flammy too, plus I figured if an owl most of you guys had never heard of got equal love as the Great Horned, it had earned to opportunity to move on this time. I wasn't supposed to have to make hard choices in this, I was supposed to pawn it all off on you guys! 😉
