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!
I was annoyed when Flammie beat Great Horned Owl, but now we have to vote for him to defeat the scary Great Grey Owl! 🩷
I'm honestly surprised GG is still in the lead. I've always felt he was less popular here, and this vote count is lower than a lot of these, but it still has 4 more votes than Flammy even though Flammy seems to have picked up a vocal group of fans.
I'm a Great Grey supporter, but I'm hoping I wake up to a Flammy victory because I've been enjoying it's cheer squad.
I think the great grey owl is the victor in my heart ❤️
He may not have won, but no one can take his Great-ness!
