These guys look big in the photos because they look like the Great Horned Owl I’m more familiar with, but they are quite a manageable size.

I saw one in the museum today, and I’d say it’s about the size of an American football, but that doesn’t help you much, so it’s about 40 cm, 10 cm shorter than an average newborn baby.

Either way, it’s a size and shape that’s designed to be cradled in the your arm. Perfect cuddling size!
