I'm really not the best to ask but some people seemed to think this was a good idea. This also completely ignores every other weird thing about these guys' faces (like asymmetrical skulls, immobile eyes, turn radius).

I usually forget in the process of trying to keep a simple, recognizable set of shapes, but barn owls have faces pretty much like every other bird of prey. They just have a lot of face fluff.

Maybe once I get more comfortable I'll do more general things but eh. uvu

Videos that demonstrate what I'm talking about (since seeing them move is infinitely more helpful to me):

-Mouth movement / disc squash (volume warning!)

-Clear mouth movement

-Clear beak profile
