Introduction
Owls are birds that are especially active at night. This goes well with their solitary lifestyle. With their large eyes located in the front of the head, they have a large stereoscopic view. With this they can perceive depth well.
But if an owl wants to look around, the owl has to turn its head. The ears of an owl are also very well developed. Because their ears are far apart, owls can more easily determine where the sound is coming from.
Habitat
The Forests of Eden
Description
The head of an owl has a very round shape with a flatter face. Owls have a small hook-shaped beak. In addition to a hooked beak, owls also have strong claws attached to their feet. These legs are often completely covered with feathers.
On the wings of an owl you will find a downy layer, this is located on the front edge of the primaries. The down feathers on the wing ensure that flying is almost silent. This makes it easy to catch prey.
Behaviour
Hunting and eating
Up close, owls can see a lot worse than from afar, which is why the owl determines the location of the prey when it is still far away. Then the owl flies towards the prey and grabs it with its two legs.
First he takes the eyes of the prey out of the sockets with his beak.Then it kills its prey by squeezing its claws tighter until the prey has no heartbeat. When the prey is dead, it begins to tear it apart with its beak. In the event that youngsters need to be fed, he makes the torn pieces smaller with his claw.
Settling and breeding
To lay and hatch their eggs, owls often look for a hollow tree, a hidden place on the ground or they look for a place in a building. The special thing about an owl's nests is that they do not make the nests themselves, because they steal them from other birds.
They do this by chasing away or in some cases even killing the birds from which the nest is. A female owl starts incubating when the first egg is laid. When she is incubating she immediately lays the other eggs.
Because there is a big difference between the first and last egg laid, you also see a big difference in the size of the jones. This is because there is quite a bit of time between the first and the last egg.
Abilities
One of an owl's most well-known abilities has been and remains their sight and the ability to rotate their neck almost completely.
The combination of both makes it almost impossible not to be spotted by an owl. In addition, they also have very good ears, which makes this even more difficult.
When an owl feels threatened or sees prey, the animal dives down and lunges at the prey with its talons.
An owl's scracth deals 1d2 damage.
Drops
An owl drops feathers that can be used for decoration of clothing and accessories.
Other than that it can be used to write with. They also drop some meat. While baked this has a pretty similar taste to chicken, but a little it’s a little bit more light.
