CORNWALL, ENGLAND — A British charity worker got a surprise when he visited an owl sanctuary in Cornwall, England, when he found a young barn owl bobbing its head like it was dancing.
Robert Cole, who works as head of communications at Amar International Charitable Foundation, christened the bird 'Owly Murs' after British singer Olly Murs.
Murs was runner up in the British reality TV singing competition the X-Factor in 2009.
This video was filmed at the screech owl sanctuary in Saint Columb Major.
Cole said staff at the sanctuary had put the two-week-old owl by the reception desk to get it used to humans.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) said owls often bob their heads as a way of improving their depth perception.
They also said young owls do this more as they get used to their surroundings.
