owls
- Owls are one of the only birds who can see the color blue
- The burrowing owl will use the abandoned burrows of other animals
- The eyes of an owl are one of their best features and make up almost 5% of their body weight
- The Great Horned Owl has no sense of smell
- Certain species of owls have special feather that allows them to fly silently
- Their eyes are held in place by bony structures in the called Sclerotic rings. Because of this, they cannot or move their eyes. In order to look sideways, they need to turn their neck instead. Amazingly, they can turn their neck to extreme degrees – even upside down.
