Are those baby orphaned owls cuddling up to their new plush toy surrogate mom? We think they are:

A group of orphaned baby owls snuggle up to a cuddly toy which has become their surrogate mum after they were found on the brink of death in the wild. The tiny tawny owl chicks burrow in under the fluffy toy's wings to keep warm after they were separated from their own mothers. The chicks, all aged between just four and eight weeks, faced certain death as they fended for themselves alone in the wild but are now recovering in an animal hospital... "They are so cuddly, almost human looking with their big wide eyes and facial expressions, we do find ourselves getting attached to them if we're not careful. "But we all know that they are better off in the wild, so we are trying not to get too attached and are doing what we can so that they can be returned to their natural habitat.

Yeah, good luck with that.
