Reception
The shape of the owl has been criticised for its phallic shape,[5] however, it remains a tourist attraction, with Tara Cheyne calling it a "must see".[6][7] The work has been nicknamed the 'penis owl'.[8]
The statue has also been prone to graffiti; the ACT government had to spend A$3000 on cleaning it.[1]
