Cute owl. A long time ago I saw a picture of an owl sitting on my dad's shoulder. He lived on a farm but I never thought to ask him how he got ahold of it.
I never realised there were so many different owls until I saw a doco on them...because of urbanisation they are having a job to keep surviving in places like UK. Here in NZ there is only one native owl - the Morepork - that's what it's call sounds like!
