The first kit of the new year is this deceivingly simple looking little owl to expand the bird-population in 3EyedBear’s universe.
We all know owls are one of the wisest creatures and this one certainly will be one day too. Thing is: she’s still very young and inexperienced, but she compensates that with a passion for reading thick books while you sleep. It don’t hurt to have her posted in your bedroom since owls hunt for little scary creatures by inborn instinct. She will watch over you.
Happy dreams everyone 
(click one of the images to download Howie)
Collect them all! and adopt my chicken-brothers and -sisters too:
Owly, Otus, Hoothoot!, Red, Tunkuruchu, Shelbey, Lowly, Orly, Sophia, Brady, Octavia, Bubblegum, Charlie
This photo shows them all >>> click!
Edit: Thank you for all the lovely blog-title suggestions in the comment-box. We’ll go with Lling’s suggestion, so we would like to thank her in particular. We’ve adopted some names too out of humble appreciation for all your thoughts. 
Now let’s send some pictures of one of the owls and share how you are taking care of them. We would love to see the birds migrate all over the globe and will post the best ones in our Flickr-pool.
-Darla from delicious Bakingdom created 3 Harry Potter-themed owls here for downloading.

With all those birds falling out of the air around the world lately, this gorgeous creature would be a welcome addition to the flock (or is the proper phrase a parliament of owls).

Hi Moriya,
You can try downloading the template again, it might be corrupt. Another thing I can imagine is to check all the boxes in the print-menu. I hope it helps.
