Woo hoo
I got halfway through the article thinking it was modern day slow reveal journalism, but no, the bird is actually called the powerful owl, lower case. No shit.
“Powerful owls are expressive and strangely compelling — their powerful ‘woo-hoo’ hoot carries across the night. It’s soulful [and] I love it.”
Not surprisingly there’s hardly any left and yet they’re simultaneously on the brink of becoming the next bin chicken.
The unexpected solution to this unexpected problem is, of course, that we give some academics (specifically, Ms Zvolanek and Dr Parsons) some money to ponder the inexplicable. I’m in.
