Going Full Pancake (lemmy.world)

From World Bird Sanctuary

Gordon, the barred owl, might love sunbathing even more than Lewis, the bald eagle, from yesterday's post. Barred owls go into full relaxation mode when they sun. They will sit down, go into a full pancake, and tip their head back for maximum sun coverage. Gordon will do this on warm sunny days even on his trainer's glove. It can be a little tricky supporting an owl that is actively laying down on your hand!

The more I look at it, the more I want to see him get in position. I'm picturing the neck sticking out far, like a turtle, before curling back into the sun.
