Why aren’t we like that wise old bird....?

Owls have long been a part of human folklore, myth and legend.  Often depicted with an air of mysteriousness in popular culture, probably due to their nocturnal nature, unique physiology and predatory ways, owls have always captivated the imagination.  From prehistoric times to today, they continue to hold their place as prominent cultural symbols and icons....

Yeah, that's the tiny bit, actually...."

Has left the Brain that won't believe.

Speaks the Unbeliever's fright."
