How rude! Owl pulls the 'poop and run' on rooftop neighbour

We've got to give this brazen owl (thought to be a juvenile Eurasian eagle owl) ten points for flawless execution! Step 1: Lull your rooftop neighbour into a false sense of security by pretending you're just hanging out and minding your own business. Step 2: Unobtrusively position yourself for optimal poop-spraying efficacy. Step 3: Don't overdo it. A small squirt is enough; gravity will do the rest. Step 4: RUN!

This hilarious video has landed some amazing comments, including this one from YouTuber Liz Quilty: "Life: Some days you are the bird shitting, sometimes you are the bird looking confused." Wise words.
