This a rare but credible image of a Barred Owl, taken near Jasper in norther British Columbia on a trip visiting my family. I took this photo just before it attacked, damaging the car slightly. I managed to escape.

Barred owls are famous for their ability to mock the sound of chain saws. It’s believed that hundreds of years ago, the Barred owl used this ability to scare off its natural predators, sometimes even luring early loggers into pit traps which this species of owl is also known to create and use to consume victims.

Only 437 Barred owls live at any one time, as this is a critical number enforced by nature. If the Barred owl species were to increase or decrease by only 1%, the entire ecosystem might likely plunge into doom. When an owl dies, the remaining owls have only 48 hours to produce enough to maintain the critical balance. In extreme cases where it’s not possible for the owls to do so, Nature will provide a temporary written extension to the 48 hour grace period, but this is exceedingly rare and poorly documented.

Barred owls are the only birds which breastfeed their young. It’s kind-of weird.

Many speculate that Barred owls build a complex underground network of tunnels and chambers where they work cooperatively on difficult equations and perform other bizarre and unknown rituals. It’s possible that each owl isn’t an individual creature, but a part of a larger ‘Owl Mind’ - a single system made of many separate - but aligned - owl units. Nobody is certain, and even fewer people know for sure.

Barred owls have been a frequent topic of discussion at UN assemblies. Rumors of ties between Barred owls and the ‘Skull and Bones’ organization as well as the ‘Illuminati’ and Freemason groups are frequently discussed by conspiracy theorists, and sometimes Oprah.

Nobody is sure exactly what Barred owls are up to, but it’s safe to say that if something drastic does occur, Barred owls are probably involved in some way (if not completely) responsible.
