Singapore’s Jurong Bird Park is the world’s largest exhibit of its kind, home to about 8,000 birds from 600 distinct species. No doubt many of those birds are fancier and more exotic than this humble young barn owl, but we still think it’s pretty cute (even if it isn’t terribly glamorous).

Barn owls are the world’s most widely distributed owl species; they’re found on every continent except Antarctica and can live in just about every type of landscape, save deserts and polar regions.
