[ of course the count would be doing strange plant things. it'd be a strange day if they ever had a conversation where the count didn't do at least one strange plant thing. still, the soundless swing of the cage door is what catches and maintains hakon's attention, and so he too mercifully does not make a jab at any strange plant happenings and/or potentially inappropriate tentacle jokes and instead--
finds out rather violently that another creature had been waiting for the soundless swing of the cage as much as he had. in two seconds flat, the owl - for all intents and purposes happy to be perching with mysterious aplomb befitting of a bird that quite literally looks like someone carved a piece of the night sky out, stuck feathers on it and made it stand on one foot on a wooden block - catapults through the air and lands gracefully feet-first in hakon's face.
needless to say, the laugh and shout is soon followed by the sound of hakon meeting the floor unceremoniously and the satisfied ruffling of feathers as the owl decides it Did Well and is content to return to being mysterious and waif-like or whatever owls are supposed to do when they're not sassing people.
like raising its wings so that it can return to the count's shoulder, for example. ]
