@c_dan4th not a graph, but I did find this

My friends, as it is Superb Owl day, I would like to show a more recent picture of Baked Beans, taken back in January. He now has his adult plumage and is quite majestic, particularly since he's all sticky-uppy. He was being taken past the gorilla play room and did not like the gorillas.

@astronomerritt oh yeah, I guess Angus is more Scottish. I just scanned through a list of Irish baby boy names and picked out the ones I was familiar with.
Lochlan I've never heard as Australian. But also I don't know a ton of names I tie to Australia

@astronomerritt I wonder if that's a function of the names' actual spread, or my perception?
Does Hollywood/media only pick traditional names when it's a boy?
Are names like "Kate" just so popular that everyone uses them?

@astronomerritt some names I'd assume the bearer was Irish:
Seamus
Angus
Ciarán
Fergus
Lochlan
Sinead
Róisín

Actually it's interesting. Scanning through lists of irish boys names, I recognize a lot of them but associate them with Ireland. For the girls names, I either recognize none of them, or they're all like Kate, Sophie, Lilly, Amy, which I consider so widespread to be generic. Nothing in-between where it's a name I recognize but wouldn't expect to find much outside of Ireland.

@piglet @astronomerritt I work with 2 men named Chad
Also a Chaz

@hattom @astronomerritt interesting that Kayleigh was the example here, since it was pretty high on this list of Irish girls names (though I suspect this list was written for Americans)

@Fruan @jordan why are you like this?

@jordan @Fruan
Yup.
Yup that's that scene.
The flavor text even acknowledges it

@AkaSci @j258853 in Boulder Colorado, Flatiron Freddy is a stuffed marmot

@AkaSci can't call it early! The western half of the continent is still waiting for sunrise

Baby owls, not always cute. Sometimes, they look like death warmed over, right after waking up but before the coffee is ready.
My sister calls this his "mouldy strawberry" phase.

Anyway, here's another picture of Beans taken the same day as the previous post. I don't think he's quite awake yet

This is one of the earliest Beans pictures. He itty! He bitty! He covered in baby fluff!

Look at that little round boi. If you zoom in, he is rockin that 'stache

Hey y'all, wanna know what a disgruntled baby owl looks like?
Well, someone opened the refrigerator near Beans. This is his disgruntled face.
Ruffled is a good word here.

Hi folks. Would you like more #BakedBeansOwl content? Because good news! We have more Beans pictures! He's about a month older in this picture and losing some of his baby appearance.
Beans is fierce! Beans is majestic! Beans is maybe 7 inches tall!
Don't mess with Baked Beans.

For more Beans the Owl content, follow #BakedBeansOwl. I'll post more pics on this thread as I get them (though we'll probably see a lot in the next week or so. I've got a few months backlog)
Also keep an eye out for other fun bird posts. The zoo also has a wonderful Tawny Frogmouth that I adore, and a baby flamingo that goes on walks around the zoo.
Plus I have a bunch of pictures of a baby barn owl they raised this spring. I'll try to attach them here or at least let you know the hashtag

Beans on a hand, for scale reference. He is just too darn cute.

Hi folks,
So my sister is a zookeeper and takes care of the birds. She often sends pictures.

This is Baked Beans. He is a baby screech owl and is being raised for the zoo's ambassador bird program.
I would die for Beans.
