WINNER: BUFFY FISH OWL 67-64

Welcome to round 2! We've had some crushing wins and a few shocking losses, and it's only going to get harder from here!

This matchup kicks off with the Barn Owl. You know him. You love him. You helped him easily win the first match of the tournament. After meeting all the rest of our contestants, has the hype around this world wide owl fizzled out, or is it just getting started?

Buffy Fish Owl was one of the first surprises of the tourney. Most of you had never seen him before, but feel for his chill demeanor and cool looks. Is he too laid back to take down the all around favorite?

Upvote your choice now!

The eyebrow game is on POINT

It's got style, it's got grace, and fancy brows upon it's face!

Don't do this to me. I abstain

This coming right after GHO/Flammy is tough on my nerves! 😅

Barn for the win

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It's a force to bet reckoned with!

Barn Owl! Spooky is best.

It's no doubt the source of many stories of ghosts and phantoms!

Hardest one so far. They're both great-looking owls with a lot of character. I... I may have to toss a coin.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Either way, you're choosing an awesome owl!

Oh man. I love the Buffy so much, but the barn owl is absolutely iconic. Gotta go with the barn owl, sorry Buffy, you are still adored

Right?! It just feels weird voting against certain ones!

I deliberated for like half an hour on the GHO thing this morning.

[–] Blackout@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

Buffy has style

[–] Cornpop@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Both are great owls, but barn is just such a classic. My vote is barn.

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Barny is going to be a tough one to beat, but after GHO no one is safe.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Go BFO !

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

This is closer than I was expecting. It's been a very tense weekend waiting for these results!

[–] God_Is_Love@reddthat.com 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This one's so hard because I like the Barn Owl photos better but Buffy Fish Owl is his the dopest name I can imagine! 😂

OP I added a user note for you, you're now "Owl Comrad" 💪

[–] anon6789@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Ooo, I've never had a title online before!

[–] lusciousgreen@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Barn owl all the way!
