What's with Whisper the snowy owl being grey? Well, turns out only adult males are pure white! Babies are grey and turn white as they age. Female snowy owls retain some grey with striking peppered plumage.

Never judge a bird by their plumage. Even with the utmost love and care, birds (especially Cockatoos) struggle with plucking behavior. This is for those who's hearts belong to a little avian "nudist".
