About "African Scops Owl"
This sculpture was commissioned by the Wildlands Conservation
Trust as part of thier annual Art for Conservation fundraising
Exhibition in 2005. 10% of the proceeds from the sale of the sculpture will be donated to the Trust for use in their numerous projects.
Edition of 30, 23 available for purchase
One of Africa[0x1]s smallest owls, this widely
distributed, notoriously mysteriously creature
has a voice which is synonymous with quiet
African Savanna evenings.
By day it camouflages itself in trees with bark
resembling its plumage, sitting upright and
elongated close against the stump. With [0x1]ear
tufts[0x1] protruding it will often resemble a dead
branch.
The owl hunts at night, preying almost
exclusively on insects on the ground, yet will
also spend long periods in the tree tops calling
at precise regular intervals. This insect-like
[0x1]prrrrpt[0x1] call has a mysterious ventriloquial
nature, and does not seem to make spotting
the owl much easier.
They nest in holes in trees from late winter
into spring and will sometimes hide in them
during the day in the non-nesting season. A
habit which adds to their mysterious nature.
