This tiny owl may be cute, but don’t let it fool you: it has more sass in its little talon than a Colorado sheriff’s deputy.
Deputy Sophie Berman came across the raptor on a dirt road on Tuesday as Berman patrolled an area near a campground west of Boulder.
In the video, a female deputy can be heard talking to the owl, which in turn seems startled by her sounds and appears to be “clicking” back at her.
“After some curious head twisting (on both sides) it safely flew away,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement on social media, using the Twitter hashtag #DeputiesLoveBabyOwls.
The video garnered over 700,000 views in just two days, and the tweet about the owl incident has been reposted over 3,000 times.
