Two Cute Owls on a Branch Coloring Page

About this page

Two owls huddle shoulder to shoulder on a bare branch, the larger one on the left and the smaller one on the right, with their heads tipped toward each other. Both have huge shiny eyes, tiny beaks and ear tufts, and their chests are covered in rows of scallop feathers. The bigger owl's wing folds down its left side, and the smaller owl's wing folds down its right side. Their feet grip the branch side by side and their tail feathers fan out below. The branch runs across the lower half of the page from left to right, with a leaf at each of its tips and one more under the left end. The two characters overlap in the middle, which gives the picture a close, cozy feel. It is a medium page that suits kids who like pairs and gentle friendships.
