Laughing Owl Colouring Page

Laughing Owl (Sceloglaux albifacies). Country of origin: New Zealand. Extinction: The last confirmed specimen was found in 1914; later reports remain unconfirmed. Cause: Introduced predators, especially mammals brought by people, and changes to its habitat and prey are considered major causes. Special characteristics: Its distinctive features included a round face without ear tufts, a streaked breast and strong feet. How to Colour: Use tawny brown feathers with cream streaks, a pale facial disc and yellow-brown eyes. Add short strokes along the breast feathers and keep the pale facial markings clear.
