Broward County has one of the highest densities of Burrowing Owls in Florida. The Florida sub-species of Burrowing Owl is now classified as a threatened species in Florida and it is one of the rarest sub-species of Burrowing Owls. This is unfortunately an all too common problem for these owls in Florida.

Reportedly, any mention of the Red-vented Bulbul in Florida’s schools may soon be illegal as it is thought that the specific reference to the hind parts of the species may lead vulnerable children toward early sex.
