It is estimated that there are fewer than a thousand breeding pairs left in Canada, mainly in Saskatchewan and Alberta. The mission of the Saskatchewan Burrowing Owl Interpretive Centre is to promote conservation of the owl and its native prairie habitat.

Burrowing Owls (Unstuffed)

The newspaper article related this and more about the centre’s efforts and let readers know that they could support its conservation efforts. A tax-deductible donation allows you to “adopt” an owl, which means you get a picture of your adopted owl along with an official adoption certificate.

But, everyone who makes “a $100 donation receives a life-sized stuffed burrowing owl” (emphasis added).

I’m sure there is an important detail missing here that might involve the word “replica” or something similar.
