Owl (sculpture)

The Big Powerful Owl is a sculpture 8 m (26 ft) tall,[1] designed by Bruce Armstrong, in the Belconnen District of Canberra, Australia; it depicts a powerful owl (Ninox strenua).

[2] Built in 2011, it is one of numerous big things in the Australian Capital Territory.

[3][4] The owl's form has been criticised for its phallic shape,[5] however, it remains a tourist attraction, with Tara Cheyne calling it a "must see".

[11][12] The statue has also been prone to graffiti; the ACT government had to spend A$3000 on cleaning it.
