Surrey Owls Have It Good as City Builds Them Mini-Bars
If you find this hard to read it says: "As an innovative way to protect Barn Owls from further population loss, raised miniature bars such as this have been introduced in fields. . ." Yes, it should be "barns."
I'm an editor, and I've read this sign in South Surrey, BC, a couple of times, and I didn't pick up the typo until today. I'm not trying to be mean, I just love collecting such slips.
Dunno if building mini-bars for endangered species is such a good thing! :-)
And it gives expressions such as "the party was a hoot" a whole new meaning. . .
