The bird protection organization has reportedly filed a complaint on Thursday. The Lower Austria State Police Directorate confirmed that an investigation was underway.
The shooting was preceded by the fact that the owl had settled on private property with old trees in the spring and had spilled. The bird caused disgust due to its song, which is why an official visit to the site was made, BirdLife Austria said. Gunshots were heard.
“Last week he suddenly fell silent,” said the bird protection organization. On Friday, the children would have found the dead owl under the breeding tree. The initial diagnosis was a bullet.
BirdLife Austria’s Johannes Hohenegger says it’s shocking to take up arms because a harmless bird is singing. “It is particularly painful that the owl in Lower Austria has de facto become extinct as a breeding bird.”
