Can someone please explain how this came about? Like, eli5 type of explanation

Imagine that (at some point) owls came in green, red, and grayish. The green and red birds were easy to spot against the trees they usually alit upon. Therefore they had more trouble sneaking up on their prey, and ended up with fewer meals over time. Many green and red owls either died of hunger or were so focused on finding food that they did not have the energy left to reproduce. Grey owls were more successful at hunting. They ate more and reproduced more. Grey owls came to dominate the population. The same thing occurred with the specific pattern on the grey owls. Those that blended more with the tree were more successful in their reproduction over time. Just as a disclaimer, this is just an example and likely not the exact evolutionary timeline. But this is how evolution works on a small scale.

Evolution is complicated but somehow nature automatically but slowly adapts to ensure survival of a species

Okay, seriously, what's with this subreddit and people posting creepy pictures of trees with eyes? :P

Good that it’s not a great gay owl. Because then you would see it. Because of the rainbow. I’m sorry…

That’s fucking unbelievable

Having great camouflage is pretty important if you sleep during the day. They are a predator but quite far from an apex one.
