He's an adorable, yet angry, little gnome! 😍
Facebook's machine translation isn't great. There's nothing here that's even remotely close to the word for "machete." But the translator might have lost its mind because "Kauz" was misspelled (there's no "t" in it). And sometimes unique names make the computer go crazy.
I couldn't find any info about this particular owl, but my best guess would be some kind of conservation program. There are quite a few of those (for all kinds of animals) in the German-speaking countries.
This particular place is a nature park and raptor rescue near Frankfurt. Very cute little owl!
Thank you! I knew I had a few German followers, so I was hoping one of you would comment.
I tried looking up the area a little to try and see where this was at, but I wasn't having much luck, and then I got busy.
I know places trade species with each other, but Germany and Australia feel so far apart and my mind pictures them as totally different places, but that is likely just my ignorance of other places. 😉
It looks like a toe on a giant foot.
That's the worst case of ath-owl-etes foot I've ever seen! 😜
Superbowl
For owls that are superb.
