A sad Ozzie...

Ozzie looks very depressed. They sell him as a gargoyle, but he looks far too much like a flying monkey from the Wizard of Oz, thus - his name. Can you see his long tail hanging over his shoulder? He weighs upwards of 89 pounds. So he won't get moved again - on purpose.

I agrée with you, I just googled to refresh my brain and anyway
I loved this film and yes he really does look like the monkey king… I was shocked to see the movie was 1939?
Lovely to see him in your garden.

@beverley365 Thank you very much, Beverley. Yes, it's an old movie, but a classic that still delights old and young today. =)

[Bucktree]

Nice b&w image. He does look rather bummed out.

@dkellogg Thank you so much, David. Perhaps, the wicked witch of the west scolded him for letting Dorothy and Toto get away. =)

[Diana]

He is gorgeous, even though he looks a tad sad!

I love Ozzie and his long tail and wings! I agree with you, he looks sad and contemplative, I don't see him as a gargoyle.
