From Mikael Karine Trchn
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.
For some reason this perspective reeeeeally messes with my head
It was a very odd photo to come across!
I got it from a French owl community, so I couldn’t initially read the what context was. I assumed it was a big nest, but as you said, the perspective isn’t from an angle we look at most things. The whole thing just looks so alien, and it isn’t often a Tyto owl is the least alien looking thing in a photo! 😄
