The Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) is a national not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to ensuring an appreciation of our natural world and a lasting legacy of healthy wildlife and habitat

Current data suggests that burrowing owl populations in Canada has declined by over 95 per cent since 1987. This alarming rate of decline can be attributed to the changing prairie landscape.

Did you know that the burrowing owl is:

  • The only owl that nests in the ground.
  • Smaller than a pigeon?  It stands at just 19 to 20 centimetres tall and weighs between 125 to 185 grams.
  • Known for its unique hiss! It sounds similar to a rattlesnake and helps to scare off predators.
  • The only owl to make “coo-coo” sounds when trying to attract a mate.
  • One of the most endangered birds in western Canada!

Proceeds from the purchase of this Burrowing Owl sweater go to support CWF’s Endangered Species Fund and help at-risk species such as the burrowing owl. With every purchase, you will also receive a CWF sticker and temporary tattoo.

  • How To Measure 

    Take an outerwear jacket that fits you well and lay it flat on a table as it is done here. Find a tape measure and note the following measurements:

    A (BODY LENGTH) - measure from highest point of shoulder (hps) to bottom hem
    B (CHEST) - go two inches below armpit and then measure across
    C (SLEEVE LENGTH) - measure from centre back collar to sleeve cuff edge

    Please Note:
    * Because each sweater is knit by hand, finished measurements may vary slightly.
    * The measurements we list are actual sweater measurements and NOT body measurements.
    * If you're still unsure of your size, email us or phone us, 1.604.207.9392, and we'll be more than happy to assist you. Usually height and weight will help us determine a size.
