(The real reason is that barred owls are invasive and are pushing out the native owls. It's still pretty sad though because it's not the barred owls fault)
Oh, my PFP is just whatever came out of Dall-e when I told it to make me a screaming owl.
I meant whenever I actually release a game and need an actual studio logo, the barred owl was the most obnoxiously loud owl I could find, so that's what I was planning to use
I find it strange that we consider them invasive. If an animal flies from one part of the country to another and sets up shop, that seems like a pretty natural process that shouldn't be interfered with to me (unless maybe a huge truckload of owls was brought out West which started the whole thing I guess).
Maybe it's more about protecting an endangered owl than the actual invasiveness. Idk, sometimes natural processes fucking sucks. Anyway, humans are a part of nature so if we help out a struggling species, is that not a natural process?
