International Council of Owls and Songbirds (ICOOS) is a regulating body that advocates the well-being of the world's owls and songbirds. ICOOS is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden and has auxiliary branches in Oslo, Norway and Washington, D.C.
History
ICOOS was formed in 1937 in response to poor living conditions for chickens on farms in North America. ICOOS soon expanded its vision towards sustaining the well-being of the world's farm fowl, native birds and owls.
Leadership
ICOOS is led by a supreme chancellor as well as a parliament. Parliament members are elected to two-year terms, while the supreme chancellor is elected to a lifetime term. In 2005, Oswald Wilbur Langsley was elected to the position of supreme chancellor.
Under Wilbur's leadership, ICOOS has stepped up its advocacy efforts, pressing for bird population counts nation-wide, more owl sanctuaries, and a decrease in the price of bird seed.

Bobbs is a term describing a copycat.
Originally the term was contrived as a shortened and somewhat twisted version of Bobbsey Twins, the iconic childrens series of books by Laura Lee Hope.
The word Bobbs first known use is from the early 1970's in Omaha, NE where it originated in a central part of the city as the result of unabashed and prolific events of copy-catting by the youngest of siblings in a large family.
Today, the term Bobbs is known and used across much of the English-speaking planet.
Common forms of usage would be, Mara, you Bobbsed off me. or, Loren, you're a Bobbs.
