This is the most original name they could come up with this guy…

Scientific name isn’t any better. Strix nigrolineata just means owl with black lines.

Zebra Owl, Newsprint Owl, Bandit Owl, Masked Owl

What name would you have given this owl?

      I love the bold contrasting colors. It really makes them all pop. With the sleeker head shape and the orange beak and feet, it does kinda resemble a parrot. I think that bright beak makes it look longer than in most other owls too.

      It’s so much fun discovering all these neat birds I never would have heard of otherwise.
