Owl of the Year Match 19 - Morepork vs Little Owl
(lemmy.world)
WINNER: LITTLE OWL 67-57
Morepork soundly defeated the Barred Owl in a real surprise to most of us. If Morepork makes it through this, he may be facing New Zealand's recent addition, the Barn Owl. Morepork is about 10 inches / 26 cm. It's this small enough to be today's favorite little brown owl?
Little Owl bested Barking Owl to get here today. Little Owl was also brought to New Zealand's South Island in the early 20th century. Little Owl measures in at 8.5 inches / 22 cm giving it the edge in tinyness. Little Owl is all over Eurasia and Africa as well.
Will this flat headed fellow be the winner today, or will the charm and rarity of the Morepork prevail? Upvote your favorite!
I wish it was local to me too!
Now that you say that, I do too. I was just making a Pratchett joke, although the city is Morpork. Alas, I've never been to the beautiful land of the moreporks.
Even if my reasoning is joke, moreporks are defo my choice here.
Mine too! You can tell I havent rigged this by how many of my favs have been losing this week! ๐
