Nocturnal Animals

Most owls are nocturnal animals, which means they are mostly active at night. Because they are active in the dark, they need keen eye sight and hearing.


Birds of Prey

Owls are birds of prey like  felcon's and hawk's.That means they hunt small animals such as mice,birds and other insects.Some owls even catch fish in water. Often, an owl will _swallow an animal whole. But since it can’t digest the bones, it will regurgitate them. These regurgitated bits of food are called pellets.

Owl Feathers

Owls are stealthy hunters. They have special  
feathers that help to keep them quiet when they flap their wings. Owl feathers are usually brown and grey, which helps to  camouflage them in the forest. Because owls are so silent and hidden, their prey doesn’t know the owls are coming until it’s too late.
