This post is mainly a cute little owlet, but it’s from this Guardian article that is a quick read about an owl family in the author’s yard

      A fluffy owl is a happy owl!

      When relaxed, the plumage is loose and fluffy. If an owl becomes alarmed, it will become slim, its feathers pulled in tightly to the body, and ear-tufts, if any, will stand straight up.

        Wow that’s a really nice fact I had no idea… the more aerodynamic, the more stressed. Somehow relatable tbh.
