Yes, this is indeed the meme owl.

Know Your Meme

The original “O RLY?” Snowy Owl image macro used a photo taken by nature photographer John White, which was subsequently posted to a Usenet newsgroup named alt.binaries.pictures.animals on February 17th, 2001. White has since sent numerous cease and desist letters to those using the image without his permission.

Also the official bird of Quebec!

A darn fine choice! All our state animals just seem to be things the settlers liked to eat...

Yummy owl 😋

Officially, it's been selected because it highlights Québec's stance on wildlife protection since it's an endangered species.

Lol. Great Dane is our state dog, and I don't see too many of those walking around. Coincidence??? They would feed a lot of people...

Little news blurb from the guy who says he had his dad make the owl the official bird. . About a minute read for anyone interested in a little more detail.

Elle a l'air de vouloir jouer.

Snowy Owl Peekaboo

Ce n'est pas la même chouette, mais en voilà une qui s'amuse bien.

Vous pouvez remercier Google si ce sont des mots très incorrects !

C'est génial... Non, mieux : c'est chouette !

Je comprends cette référence!

Quelqu'un m'a expliqué les deux sens de "chouette" !

J'aime quand j'arrive à apprendre quelque chose en retour.
