All About Birds: Owls (17 Pics)

#13 These birds have very strong legs.

When hunting, they use strong and sharp claws.

#14 The owl’s gaze is very expressive, and the eyes are large in size.

Because of their large and intelligent eyes, owls were considered wise birds in ancient Greece.

Due to lack of food, chicks are able to eat each other. Babies spend no more than one month with their parents in the nest. Then they begin independent adult life.

#15 Their eyes have an interesting feature: they can see in complete darkness as well as in daylight.

However, owls see absolutely nothing up close.

The owl feeds on rodents more often than insects or fish. Owls of smaller sizes are usually looking for small prey.
