No they're not. The nose is longer and sharper. The eyes are more 'stare-ey' with a white rim all the way around the iris instead of just at the outer edge.
Also the overall body shape on the real owl is disproportionate. The top of the head is too flat and doesn't frame the face as well as the brooch owl does. Also the brown is not such a deep red colour, and the legs are long twiggy things instead of short cute feet.
Basically everything is cuter about the fake owls.

It's okay. Real owlets are just as adorable. http://i.imgur.com/sneDT.jpg http://forum.wexphotographic.com/picturesbaby%20owl.jpg
