I am Owlet.

Hear me stare.

      Not many babies can pull off intimidating adult humans, but GHOs are pretty darn good at it!

      If I hadn’t had all this research here before heading into the baby GHO’s enclosure at the clinic, it would make me pretty nervous.

      The hawks bounce around nervously, but just make tiny, non-theeatening noises and just come off as shy but curious.

      That baby GHO is still physically larger than even I had anticipated, it stands its ground, swells up, and hisses and snaps its beak the entire time I’m within visual range, and I’m sure those gigantic feet already have enough of an iron grip to do me some damage!
