Alan Van Norman

This is the most original name they could come up with this guy…

Scientific name isn’t any better. Strix nigrolineata just means owl with black lines.

Zebra Owl, Newsprint Owl, Bandit Owl, Masked Owl

What name would you have given this owl?

    Ooooh lolol that thread

    Eh I dont overly hold it against them, they have no experience or knowledge about macrobio, and so they think zoos are non human torture prisons. I kinda get why they make the mistake, even if I wished they didnt.

    Tbh I have a hard time tracking usernames in lemmy due to the user/server thing. Im sure Ill get better with that the longer I use it

      Yeah, it’s ok to not understand, it’s just frustrating when someone is that close minded intentionally and makes bad faith arguments.

      Lemmy does have a lot of peculiarities for sure! I’ve just been back and forth between that thread and here today, so your name stood out to me when you commented.

      Continue enjoying the owls. I’m about finished drafting a post on feathers I’ll put up this weekend like the last mega post about talons.
