That owl would not live long. Its head is far too large, also it is made of wood.

At first it was afraid, it was petrified

Kept thinking I could never give this wood block owl eyes, But then I spent so many nights thinking “I should just make a bong”, But I was wrong, I could have learned it all along!

And now your carved, your beak in place, I just whittled you here with that sad look upon your face, I could have used a different block, I could have felled a different tree, If I’d known for just one second you’d be such a damn cutie.

Go on now fly, fly out the door, I think it’s fun to pretend you’re not wooden anymore, Don’t believe the people that are saying you’re a spy, You’re not a drone, There’s no marble sized disguise

I think you’d be petrified too if you woke up to someone scraping wood off you with a piece of sharpened steel then slathered you in varnish.

If it were live oak instead of maple it'd likely be a different story
