Snowy Owl hissing

This is a Snowy Owl that resides here at the rescue center - he is in no way being tormented or abused - they will hiss and clack their beaks for many reasons , not always out of fear . I am purposely capturing this "hiss" on video for a friend - it is infact the camera that he is hissing at

Why doesn't he have any grey feathers? Is this the Snowy Owl's juvenile form?

@PlasmaJunky they are on the back and lower wing

Even owls hate the paparazzi.

@MrRelhed She? Is this a mutant female? Female snowy owls usually have a lot of heavy black barring on their bodies.

Well, animals are a lot like people, Mrs. Simpson. Some of them act badly because they've had a hard life, or have been mistreated... but, like people, some of them are just jerks.
