Love and affection aren't just for people. Animals can also show real warmth towards each other. Even owls, usually seen as lone creatures, can surprise us with how they treat each other.

In a quiet spot, a touching moment happened between two barn owls. The whole scene was caught in some beautiful pictures. The two owls, who are actually sisters, were spotted cuddling up in a tree, showing they have a really close bond.

This warm scene was photographed by Leslie Arnott, a 55-year-old who loves wildlife, from Staffordshire. Leslie was able to catch this amazing sight during a special wildlife event where you can watch birds in their natural setting.

Leslie described how the setting was a bit tricky because it was pretty dark in the woods. The owl sisters flew around for a bit before they settled down together and had their special moment. They started by gently rubbing their heads together, which looked really sweet. Then came the big moment when it looked like they were giving each other a peck on the cheek.

Even though people don't usually think of owls as being that friendly with each other, these barn owl sisters showed that they could be. They really seemed to love each other and worked together beautifully.

Their warm behavior toward each other lasted for about three minutes, and they even 'kissed' twice during this time.

With their ghost-like pallor and primarily nocturnal habits, Barn Owls are silent hunters in the realm of the night. They possess a lean physique, with a predominantly white face, chest, and belly, offset by the buff-toned upper parts of their bodies.

These owls spend their days tucked away in secluded and tranquil hideouts, coming to life as the world settles into darkness. When night falls, they swoop over open fields and meadows, their flight light and buoyant as they scour the landscape for prey.

Their distinctive, raspy cries cut through the silence, a stark contrast to the typical hoots associated with other owl species. Even though Barn Owls are found across the globe, their numbers are sadly dwindling in some regions.

This decline is primarily due to the loss of their natural habitats, a challenge faced by many species in the modern world.

This lovely moment between the owl sisters is a reminder that it's not just humans who can show love and care for each other. The animal world is full of these heartwarming moments. It makes us realize that the feelings we have aren't so different from those of the animals around us.
