Realistically, most of those birds probably look like food to the owl.

It would like us going through a book of mammals and getting horny. Who would do that? Oh... well

You like that thick black bill and those long black legs, don’t you? 👀

The plumage don't enter into it! (clearly this owl is in denial about their actual kinks)

Males are the ones who have to prove themselves to the females in the animal kingdom for the most part I believe, so a male owl would probably not care about a females wingspan, much like in humans 👀

Although some species it seems to be whichever male can fight off the other males gets the females…all of them lol… but I imagine if the male is a jerk the females could simply walk into another males territory…

Wait, you people don't care about your partners wingspan?
