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
