Ron, you sure can be in the right spot at the right time!
My partner, Madeleine, has been painting birds and this looks like a great addition to the owl painting.

Nature is there to survive. If, not they go extinct. That outrageously colored bird it actually camouflaged in that environment.
Most of what is there, we, all of us, do not see. Birds at night? Many are bats. Flying rodents and they work nights eating tons of insects. In your attic? We would all try to kill them lock them out etc.
