Thanks for the information. You could add this to the Captive Animals mission.
This Owl is part of a private zoo. They rescued several animals all around Europe and have a little park (BADOCA SAFARI PARK) where the show us the animals.
Beautiful picture! Great Horned Owls are not native to Portugal though... ;-)
