Kaikōura Wildlife Centre Trust posted a number of Little Owls admitted for injuries due to nest fall, cat predation and vehicle strike. Little Owls were introduced to New Zealand in 1906.

This owl's pale yellow features (beak and eyes) are contrasted with the lavender purple towel that ensconses her. Only her head is visible, the rest of the owl is nestled in the hollow of the donut-shaped wrap. The ends of the towel meet at the other end like a horseshoe, or an inverted uppercase Omega "℧". The silhouette of the photographer is reflected in the owl's black pupils.
From the markings on the owl's beak and feathers, and overall discerning expression, this appears to be the same Little Owl as the previous photo, at a slightly closer depth of field. This time she is wrapped in an off-white towel, worn like a religious head scarf, beak and eyes still visible; still judging.
With chest feathers a'scraggle in hues of light brown and cream, this Little Owl is lain supine atop a plain white towel. The look in the owl's eyes is a little seductive, as if to say "draw me like one of your French owls"
