Here’s our countdown of the things owls love. From mice to eyelids and spinning their heads around, these animals have some pretty diverse interests.

1) Spinning their head around:

Owls can turn their head 270 degrees

2) Stealth:
They fly silently thanks to big wings and serrated flight feathers

3) Mice and other rodents:

They make up a big part of most owls’ diets

4) Eye-tubes:

Owls have elongated eyes instead of round eyes

5) Eyelids:

Owls and other birds have a third eyelid for cleaning their eyes

6) Wisdom:

A group of owls is called a wisdom, parliament or study

7) “Night owls”:

Owls are nocturnal, hunting for prey when it’s dark

8) Things far away:

Owls can’t see clearly up close, only in the distance

9) Hearts:

Their face is heart-shaped and forms a disk to magnify sound

10) Hiding :

The colour of their feathers helps them to camouflage

Let us spot the light like an owl and help all sorts of animals in the Act Like An Animal Challenge! When we work together, climate change doesn’t stand a chance.
