What the heck? That's a really tiny owl!

These guys are in the 6-7 inch / 16 cm range.

Elf Owl is about 5 inches / 13cm, still significantly smaller than this little owl.

You know what we need...for scale.

On average, a medium-sized banana is typically about 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 centimeters) long.

Pygmy is almost exactly one banana.
