Anyone know what kind of bird this is? I want to ID it so I can commiserate with it. I know exactly how it feels. I think the two of us would have a lot in common.

It's PIGWIDGEON!!! from the Harry Potter books. yay!
It kind of looks like a Malaysian Eagle Owl.
Hahah jesus... looks like a piece of its head is missing.
definitely a type of owl... past that, really hard to identify with no plumage there. Wow what a hangover.
A taxidermist friend of mine says, "It looks like a live owl with a bad infection around its face that has caused it to lose a lot of feathers and get some noticeable swelling under the eyelids. Poor thing. Either disease or parasites - I can't tell."
Isn't it a Frogmouth? The chest feathers match a mature Frogmouth, but the beak isn't as dark...a juvenile?
I agree that it looks ill or beaten upon (plucking?).
In the mornings, I look a lot like this...
Poor thing!
Pretty sure it is a Scops Owl in the genus Otus. It could be a North American Screech Owl (Megascops) too. And I would agree that it is porbably not in great health.
I have no idea what it is, but it LOOKS a lot like my favorite animal ever. Some bird (at some zoo I went to this one time) that had "frogmouth" in the name.
I love it because the feathers look like they're made of tree bark.
Injured baby owl? I feel sorry for it...
Dude, its a really, really, really baked owl. Just imagine the munchies this guy'll be having right after he comes back down.
It looks like something Muppet Labs came up with.
its some kind of scops owl.
looks similar to a frogmouth, but frogmouths have completely different beaks.
scops owls are my favourite animal. youtube 'popochan the owl' for why
reminds me of this guy.

i'm thinking Tawny Frogmouth
Frogmouths have a large flat beak, not a narrow hooked beak. It is definitely an owl, and definitely NOT supposed to look quite like that!
Definitely an ill scops owl, probably a screech owl.
