Hello friends, I’m sharing with you this photo of a barn owl that I received from a friend who lives in the desert of southern Africa. Have a great day.
Coucou les amis je vous partage cette photo d une chouette effraie reçu d une amie qui est dans le desert du sud de I Afrique. Passez une chouette journée.
I believe this is a nest made by the Sociable Weaver. These nests are large enough to hold over 100 pairs of weavers, making them possibly the largest bird-made structures.
I think they are fascinating to watch, it’s like a beaver dam in a tree. The barn owls here settle in the dark spots of open roofs I remember they have a distinctive avian smell it’s kind of a gentle smell.
Oh wow, you’ve gotten to see these in person?
It’s funny to think all these amazing things we see online and can’t believe they exist are often times just a regular part of other people’s neighborhood area.
I forget the user, but I remember one Australian here I was talking with, I asked with all their animals that seem extreme to us in North America if there were any American animals they found fascinating and they said squirrels, one of the most mundane and ubiquitous animals here that a lot of people find pesty.
