Owlishly Funny!

The adventures of two barred barn owls may well have been mysterious events from an adventure novel. Going by the way people have responded to the impish young owl’s devilish delights, owl watching may soon become serious entertainment business. The owls have become a major crowd puller in a small time, sleepy little suburb of Canada. The two one year old barred owls have been found hawking people quite literally, with an eagle eyed or hawk eyed glare. The owls have been spotted at work, but really having fun in a Canadian park in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

This is how the owls get to work. They perch themselves at a comfortable distance from a vulnerable park visitor. When they feel that the visitor has settled down to a comfortable evening ahead in the park, they swoop down and steal his hat, tug at the pony tails of little girls and big girls, and even go around threatening pets. They even have a good time sitting down on people’s heads. In owlish, one would call that a really swooping gesture! They have fun and rather than scaring visitors off, the people too are getting tickled by the funny pranks played by the owl pair.
