Owl Threat Response

what was the really big owl they used to scare it?

Perhaps it is trying to make itself look like a cat?

Hehehe...the sound effects are brilliant! lol

The show is just a typical variety show in Japan on TV that shows interested stuff, any interesting stuff, kind of like but is on during Prime Time. They love these sorts of pesud-educational shows in Japan on TV, as there are dozens of them, during the day and at night.

The owl has taken on a massive trend in Japan as an alternative pet to a parakeet/budgie or cat/dog. Because of its small size and entertainment value and relatively docile nature.

Looks like it's an "Afurikaookonohazuku" or White-faced Scops-Owl (Otus leucotis).

But my Kanji is pretty mediocre so I could be wrong.
