*sigh* the British are eccentric... The University of Bath has given a library card to an owl!
"An owl which is used to deter seagulls from nesting at the University of Bath has been given a library card in recognition of his "valuable service".
Yoda the Eagle Owl visits the campus twice a week with his handler, Marcus, as an environmentally friendly method to control the numbers of gulls.
In recognition of his work, the university decided to issue the seven-year-old bird with his own card."
The report linked to below has photos including one of Prof Yoda the Owl library card :-D Good to see intelligent gull control instead of some of the more stupid reports in the news of late.
The mad British...
