What's the video?

The cutest baby owl is nestled in a towel laying down. It appears the owl was sleeping and has just woken up. The owl handler gently picks it up out of the towel to a sitting position with both hands as it looks like the owl is waking up. Then, the baby owl does a few slow blinks, spreads its wings, and one second later, flies away.
