The photographer said “I saw the two birds and it was just too unbelievable to me. I saw them sitting next to each other and it appeared like they were more of humans. They appeared really comfortable around each other. It was not believable to me. It was just not visible.”

The photographer initially was concerned for the duck. He thought that the owl might end up eating the duck because of its predator nature. He then contacted the bird sanctuary staff.
