This is the reason why you should never believe everything on the internet / on facebook; not even on that called itself “General Knowledge”.

Apparently, we lacked of a General Knowledge that Rainbow Owl is “THE RAREST OWL”, a rare species of owl found in hardwood forests in the western United States and parts of China. Long coveted for its colorful plumage,the Rainbow Owl was nearly hunted to extinction in the early 20th century. However, due to conservation efforts, recent years have seen a significant population increase, particularly in northwestern Montana…. HOWEVER, this is a fake.

The blurry feathers on the owl caught my attention against the sharpness of the branch it is perching on. I immediately googled for more photos of Rainbow Owls and ta da! Urban Legend.

This is the original image:

So its a warning to all, that even a facebook page that claims truths are not telling the facts.

So never be complacent, always be skeptical.
