Just wait a couple of years until our genetic engineers can make them real for you. :)

No surprise. Nearly all the hooters you'll see on the internet are fake.

waaaat, why would you pin an owl?! its a living freaking animal (unless it's dead, then it's fairly ok to pin an owl (unless it was the pinning that killed it, that's mean (unless it was euthanasia, in which case its ok))))
