Burrowing Owl at Antwerp zoo

The diet of the owl is not
For delicate digestions.
He goes out on a limb to hoot
Unanswerable questions

And just because he winks like men
Who utter sage advice,
We think him full of wisdom when
He's only full of mice.

    (Ferdy, I've uploaded a poem which I think is a bit humorous). Nice shot! I love owl shots. It looks a bit sad though, gazing in full thought. Is it thinking about meal time? Posted 12 years ago

      Hilarious poem, Ludo, I appreciate it a lot :)

      What the owl is thinking of, I have no idea. I'm afraid it will be stuck in routine in this zoo.       Posted 12 years ago
