Turing Registry TR-10215 · condition of license
Notice of replica status
The Rosen Owl is a replica. It is not, and has never been, a living bird.
The condition
The Rosen Owl is licensed by the Turing Registry as an ornithological replica, filing TR-10215, on one condition: that it be identified as a replica whenever it is displayed in public. The house asked for the license, and accepts the condition gladly.
How it is met
- A plaque reading Replica is fixed to the front of the Owl’s stand and is never removed or covered.
- The attendant in the Salon says that the Owl is a replica at the start of every Thursday evening, and again to any guest who arrives late.
- The Owl’s certificate of provenance, which declares it a made thing, is shown open beside it.
- Every page of this website that describes the Owl says that it is a replica, as this one does.
- Every photograph the house permits of the Owl must show the plaque.
This notice
