I blinked at this sign for a full minute.
Where have I heard of a MOREPORK? Do I know someone who says MOREPORK? …OHHH. Hahaha. It’s from the DISCWORLD FANDOM ON TUMBLR.
Taken at a bird sanctuary in Queenstown, New Zealand. I guess the Europeans thought this owl’s call sounded like it’s saying MOREPORK, which… okayyy. I thought the Maori name was closer: RURU.
FACT: There is an owl in the Ankh-Morpork city crest FOR EXACTLY THAT REASON. \8D/

Also Rurus are adorable I am just saying.
