I also found that owls have the same expression as a human and I could have observed these animals for hours ! I also was impressed that owls don't need eyes in the back of their heads to see what's behind them — they can just swivel their heads all the way around. In fact, many owl species, can rotate their heads 270 degrees in each direction, which means they can look to the left by rotating all the way to the right, or vice versa ! That made me jealous, I wished I could do that too, but I could try as long as possible it never worked. It would have been so practical to cross a main street, or even more interesting for neighbor watch, I could be a private detective, or when I was in school easily see what others wrote ! What a dream !
When I visited a Farmer's fest in the UK there were many owls. I didn't want to go elsewhere, I just wanted to observe these amazing animals.

I love owls too. I know something terrible has happened to many of our owls in Australia but I am not going to look.
ReplyDeleteI love owls, too. Hubby has a collection of ceramic owls that are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe best is hearing them in the trees outside our house at night.
Sweet story -- love owls too. had a great owl sweep down and skim my head once. Shivers.
ReplyDeleteI love owls, too. They are beautiful! But Rosie is even more beautiful of course :-)
ReplyDeleteOwl are amazing we have big one that stops in every so often and watches over us
ReplyDeleteI hear that owls are very intelligent birds. I agree, it would make life easier if we could twist our heads 270 degrees!
ReplyDeleteThere are no owls in the built up area where I live and I have only seen them in the wild twice. They are wonderful looking creatures.
ReplyDeleteI love owls too. I've heard more of them than I've seen them, as they tend to be night animals, after all.
ReplyDeleteI like the photo collages. Definitly unusual looking birds.
