The original “O RLY?” Snowy Owl image macro used a photo taken by nature photographer John White, which was subsequently posted to a Usenet newsgroup named alt.binaries.pictures.animals on February 17th, 2001. White has since sent numerous cease and desist letters to those using the image without his permission.

A darn fine choice! All our state animals just seem to be things the settlers liked to eat...

Yummy owl 😋
Officially, it's been selected because it highlights Québec's stance on wildlife protection since it's an endangered species.

Lol. Great Dane is our state dog, and I don't see too many of those walking around. Coincidence??? They would feed a lot of people...
Little news blurb from the guy who says he had his dad make the owl the official bird. . About a minute read for anyone interested in a little more detail.

Ce n'est pas la même chouette, mais en voilà une qui s'amuse bien.
Vous pouvez remercier Google si ce sont des mots très incorrects !

Je comprends cette référence!
Quelqu'un m'a expliqué les deux sens de "chouette" !
J'aime quand j'arrive à apprendre quelque chose en retour.
