Facts about Owls

This eBook is about the breeding habits of different kinds of Owls and the way their young develop. Like birds of prey that hunt by day, owls have powerful, razor-sharp talons for killing and hooked beaks for tearing flesh. But owls are hunting creatures of the night, and have particular features which help them find and kill their prey in the dark. They fly silently on large wings, and although they do have special eyes to see in dim light, rely mainly upon sensitive ears to locate their prey. Owls are, therefore, classified in a group of their own called the Strigiformes.
