A screech owl doesn't like a good subject for an insanely cute viral video, but nature is full of surprises. Kuu is a Western Screech Owl that was born in Japan last April. In this video, a five-month-old Kuu takes a bath and gets dried by a hair dryer. For a baby, the owl handles the grooming process with ease, wiggling in a small bowl of water and not so much as flinching when blasted with a hair dryer.

In the end, one lucky handler gets to play with downy bird, and Kuu seems to contentedly receive the adoration. With no music or talking, the video makes for a relaxing and adorable six minutes.
