    They call it a "Ornimegalonyx" in the article. I googled the term and found information on it, being an extinct bird apparently native to Cuba. You can find images online and it had very noticeably long legs for an owl, which the bird in the article does not have.

    It's a significant omen regarding the creation clawing out the eyes of the creator.
    Bsbray they said the bird is almost 4 ft tall when full grown.
    So I don't think this owl is much more than a baby.

    I don't like the look of this particular Owls eyes and do not know if it bares a resemblance to the original, also has the DNA been spliced with anything else?
    Are my ponderings

    No one person can ever change the truth, but the truth, once learned, can and will change the person

    You must be the change you wish to see in the world when you are through changing, you are through
