Omg that one is so fierce, love it
Morepork is New Zealand's only native owl. They have Barn and Little Owls now too though. Little was introduced on purpose, Barn has snuck over, possibly on ships or airplane landing gear!
Morepork, aka the Ruru, is named after the sound it makes. Look that up if you haven't heard it before!
thanks for the info, that is really interesting to know!
My pleasure! 🦉
