	Laughing Owl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Laughing Owl egg fragments were apparently found in Canterbury in 1960.
		The Laughing Owl's plumage was yellowish-brown striped with dark brown.
		They were still therefore relatively common when European settlers arrived, being large and aggressive they were able to deal with the introduced rats that had caused the extinction of so much of their prey, however the stoats introduced to control feral rabbits were too much for the species.

	The Brownies and Other Tales
		It was said that the Old Owl was Nanny Besom, (a witch, my dear!) who took the shape of a bird, but couldn't change her voice, and that that's why the owl sits silent all day for fear she should betray herself by speaking, and has no singing voice like other birds.
		Tommy laid his head against the Old Owl's feathers, had a vague idea that she smelt of heather, and thought it must be from living on the moor, shut his eyes, and leant his full weight, expecting that he and the Owl would certainly fall off the beam together.
		Tommy saw many owls after this in the course of his life; but as none of them would speak, and as most of them were addicted to the unconventional customs of staring and winking, he could not distinguish his friend, if she were among them.

	Han Bennink & Terrie Ex - Epitonic.com: Hi Quality Free and Legal MP3 Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Dutch countrymen Han Bennink and Terrie Ex are both renowned for their experimental music achievements: Bennink as a revered percussionist with free jazz groups featuring Peter Brötzmann, Derek Bailey, Leo Cuypers, Don Cherry, and many others, and Terrie Ex as a guitar savant for the stalwart anarchist punk ensemble The Ex.
		The pieces burst at the seams with rhythmic energy, as you might expect given the collaborators' past work; the music is minimalist but still almost frighteningly frenetic, its collision of punk, noise, and jazz producing squirrelly, libidinous sounds that are both exciting and creepy.
		The Laughing Owl is the first of a series of Atavistic releases by high-profile experimental duos.
