This remarkable picture was shared on Reddit. A face at a window. A strange grey face… hey, wait, that’s an owl!

Research quickly unearthed the strange story of Gandalf the owl. According to the Daily Mail is agoraphobic and does not like going outside.

The Great Grey Owl now sits by the window and watches the world from the safety of his brick house.

Janet Southard, who runs the Wild Arena photography company, owns Gandalf. She told the papers;

“He is a bit of a wuss as he doesn’t like flying in big open spaces.”
