Responding to the NFL's aggressive protection of the SuperBowl trademark, US comedian and chat show host Stephen Colbert said: "I believe we can cover this story like nobody else simply by moving one consonant in the title", thereby coining the avian extravaganza that has become... the Superb Owl!
Competition for the title of most superb owl is heating up on Reddit. Take a look at some of our favourites:
The 'wind in her hair' owl...
The unbelievably sweet tiny owl...
The owl who'll break you if you call it a broken wing...
The owl carved from a fruit...
The owls who shake like cheerleaders...
The owl who knows what you did...
The owl who looks like an apple...
And the true spirit of owl...
