It was quite a few years ago a friend brought one over to the house. Something had killed all the mice up in Canada so we had a crazy number of great greys around home. the time of year was right for the roads to be covered up with frogs in the evening so owls were getting hit by cars at night while grabbing frogs off the roads.
Anyways, yeah, they are like a large ermine or small pine martin under those feathers. You grab hold by the neck or mid body and it's all fluff. Put together like a feather duster.
