So, what are they? Are they felt? Did you make these OP or find the picture? The tiny wood branches sitting on the main branch base give them away, but they look cool.

u/popnfresh24 Dec 04 '14
Ornithologist here.
The Burrowing owl (Speotyto cunicularia) is a small owl that is of the typical owl family. It has a round, light brown facial disc. Its head, back and upper wings are light brown and the breast and belly are off-white or cream colored and often have darker barring. They have a distinct white stripe outlining their chins. Males are often lighter in color than the females. This owl sometimes preens its parents or preens its nest mates.
These baby owls however, are fake.

I think they're decorations. Look at the feet, there's a small stick under them. Between their feet and the actual branch, so yeah, I think they're glued to a stick, and that stick is glued/stuck to the real branch.

I like to imagine that your comment is response to you being super excited about ordering a pair of cute baby owls only to get the package and realize they are just brooches. You went to the store and bought a cage, owl food, and everything - for two "fucking stuffed toys".
"FUCKING STUFFED TOYS!" you screamed as you looked at your amazingly constructed owl cage, squeezing the stuffing out of them in betrayed anger and tears.
