Show of the Weekend: Untitled Goose Game and Luke's Fowl Quiz - HOOOOOONK

[@outsidextra]

Show of the Weeken-HOOOONK -- in an Untitled Goose Game special, Ellen is subjected to a bird call imitation test, and subjects Luke to quite a lot of sock puppetry. Enjoy! -OX

As a zoo biologist who has worked with many birds I can confirm, owls while seen as the icon of wisdom.. they are in fact.. the most dumb animal I've ever worked with 😂

[@AthAthanasius]

So, not just a case of feline-like aloofness with respect to training then ?

[@johnwrath3612]

Are we sure it's not just because they do not do well in captivity? Neurotic behaviors are a huge problem with animals in captivity - understandably so. Humans go nuts after a couple of days in isolation. Owls are close to the top of the food chain, and apex predators tend to have rather large home ranges. Being confined and unable to hunt or fly may just make them shut down or behave erratically. I'm genuinely curious. I am also a biologist, but I don't have much background in ethology or behaviorism.

[@marhawkman303]

@@johnwrath3612 well, I used to live in an area with Owls, and as predatory birds go they're the uncurious sort. But also they're nocturnal and seem to not do much in day time.

[@motherofvermin]

@@AthAthanasius Nah, cats try to conserve energy as much as possible so they have to be REALLY motivated to cooperate with training. Owls just have no idea what's going on, ever.

[@motherofvermin]

@@johnwrath3612 Owls are good at one thing and only that one thing. They are TERRIBLE generalists. Everything outside of capturing small mammals (and even that, a lot of the time) is way out of their league. Those huge eyes don't leave much room for a brain. (But as a falconer who works with them, I absolutely love them. They really are dumb as rocks, though.) Given the choice, they will sit in a tree 95% of the time and not move, so it's certainly not a confinement issue.

[@jruonti]

Ellen's goose game was brilliant and I decided to try it too. As a goose I stole some keys and threw them in the pond. They were my house keys. I live outside now. With the goose. I feel I might be doing this wrong.

No your doing it perfectly

Ask the goose to retrieve your keys, you are of course living rent free in his house.
