Went to a small sanctuary. Saw three types of owls. See photos below as my first humble contribution to this community. It was nice to see cool owls. Shitty photos though, sorry. But they were cool. The burrowingbarking owl was just the cutest little thing.

    I have made the correction! I should have taken a photo of the labels but I always just go for the animals and then forget their names later haha. And yes it was taken in Sydney, Australia.

    I know the second was the Masked owl because the name and its markings were a perfect match so it stuck in my head. That face is so Mask.

      Hah, I always feel so silly taking pictures of signs, but that’s why I do it!

      I’m not great on Aussie Owl IDs, but my guesses would be the darker one as a Tasmanian Masked, and the light one as an Australian Masked or a common Barn Owl.

      That Barking Owl jumped out right away though.

      I really want to see these Australian and NZ owls in person, and I always feel I should post more of them.
