WINNER: SNOWY OWL 57-44

The Snowy Owl has achieved Internet legend status thanks to its O RLY? meme. It’s a large owl, and the only owl with primarily white feathers. Males lose many of their black spots as they age, while females keep them. There found all across the Arctic region, but will migrate down south to more temperate zones. Recent studies show their populations may have been overestimated, as they don’t always return to the same area. This is going to be one tough owl to beat.

The Black and White Owl is another unique looking bird. This is a medium sized owl from Central and very northern South America. It has a classic cartoon prison outfit of black and white stripes, a bright orange beak, and reddish brown eyes. It usually hangs out in the forest canopies as it primarily eats insects and bats. Is this unusual owl unique enough to get a win over one if the most popular owls?

    I do see the resemblance! I remember someone before when I posted the B+W said it reminded them off a parrot as well due to the beak.

    For also being known as a Quaker Parrot, I’m surprised they are illegal in Pennsylvania (The Quaker State) as well as many parts of the country.

    From Wikipedia

    Because of monk parakeets’ listing as an agricultural pest, the U.S. states of California, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Wyoming, as well as Western Australia outlaw their sale and ownership. In Connecticut, one can own monk parakeets, but cannot sell or breed them. In New York and Virginia, one can own monk parakeets with banding and registration. In Ohio, owning one is legal if the bird’s flight feathers are clipped or it is incapable of free flight.
