Give a Hoot!

 This barking owl was featured on the Creatures of the Night sheet released in 1997 and released as a single at the same time. Here's a clip of one barking at a zoo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9IttXj0o30 These owls are found in Australia which is not a surprise seeing as it's featured on an Australian stamp. They are also known as blinking owls as though no other owls blink.








 Austria released this barn owl stamp in 2009. Barn owls are the most widespread owl in the world and can be found almost anywhere except for the poles. They were even imported to the Hawaiian Islands to help control the rodent population.
