Netizens have gone gaga over a photo shared by an Indian Forest Services (IFS) official which shows two young owls, perched atop a branch of a tree, nuzzling together.
Sharing a collage of the two adorable owlets on Twitter on 19 January, IFS officer Madhu Mitha aptly remarked: “Pre Wedding Photoshoot I suppose!”
Soon, the post garnered a lot of attention online, leaving netizens in splits. While most agreed with the IFS officer and said the birds “can give couples a run for their money”, others chimed in with hilarious jokes and memes.
The photograph was captured by Ashwin Kenkare in Bhandara, a city in the Indian state of Maharashtra. He had first posted the photograph on a Facebook page called Indian birds; it then took flight on other platforms as well.
