HEY FUCKFACE, READY TO LEARN ABOUT BIRDS?! bird-screm-2

WELL TOO BAD GET READY FOR SOME BORD FACTS YOU MILK DRINKING PISSBABY!

Say hello to the world's largest owl, the Blackiston's Fish Owl. This fluffy motherfucker is native to Russia, China and Hokkaido Japan. But for some reason we use a name some English loser gave it in the 1800s even though I'm sure the cultures in Russia, China and Japan had already studied it. British imperialism is a shit.

Blakiston's fish owl is the largest living species of owl. A pair field study of the species showed males weighing from 2.95 to 3.6 kg (6.5 to 7.9 lb), while the female, at up to 2.95 to 4.6 kg (6.5 to 10.1 lb), is about 25% larger.

They also get fluffy as FUCK

LOOK AT THESE ROUND ASS NERDS.

These guys need big tree hollows and rivers that don't freeze completely in winter because these FAT FUCKS eat nothing but fish. That's why it's called a fish owl, stupid. They eat salmon, lamprey and even pikes, which is metal but not very vegan but I'll forgive them because owls have tiny brains and also it's the harsh frozen wild and you gotta do what you gotta do when you're tiny brained obligate carnivore. Sometimes they even eat frogs, crabs and crayfish, wow.

They are the largest bird that uses tree hollows so STOP CUTTING DOWN TREES YOU DICK.
