I once read a book about animals and the chapter on owls began "Owls are, basically, flying cats." Owls and cats have the same prey (mice, voles, rabbits, etc.) and they are both basically nocturnal but can adjust and function well during the day. They have tremendous hearing (especially at higher frequencies) and can hear the chatter of mice and rabbits that we cannot. They both upchuck the fur of their prey to clean out their stomachs. Their eyes are very similar and react to movement. And they both have amazing body flexibility.
@@jacobcox4565 Almost right as far as i know. One ear is pointed down, and the other pointed up. slanted more. not pointed directly up ofc. but im pretty sure they are the same "altitude" though
I held a great horn at a renaissance fair since I was so interested in their show they let me.. my adult ass started balling eyes when I got to pet him and hold him (with falconer glove on of course) and the lady started freaking out saying "no no you said you like them why are you crying??" I was like.. "because I never thought I'd ever get to do this in my life and I love owls a lot.." LOL XD It's on my bf's Instagram, he thought it was so cute.. I hate it.. I wish I didn't cry LMAO...
Owls aren't pigeons though, they're next to eagles and vultures on the bird family tree (they are part of the same clade (afroaves) as toucans though, which is a mindfuck)
I love how she's just looking around while you're petting her like, "Look tall, warm talking tree with fingees: can't you see I am investigating this domain?"
@@LiberateWingsRescuedAnimals neat :0 I'm still trying to teach my parakeet to stand on my hand but he just bites my hand or just looks for food :-: Do u have any idea of how to make it work?
Wow what a beautiful bird. Deep thank you to all the humans out there who rescue and are kind to our earthly neighbours. When I see us interact with love and tenderness I am always filled with awe. *warm fuzzies*
Cute and fluffy= more silent during flight= more lethal when hunting An interesting dichotomy. Cats have similar qualities as well as other "cute" critters
Noooo, they’re definitely raptor eyes. Felines have the slitted pupils and canines have different iris structure. Birds of prey have very distinctly different eyes from dogs and cats. I do agree that owls are fusions of cats and birds though!
I love how you stroke her “nose” where the feathers are fluffiest, every time I see a barn owl I wanna touch that part so bad but no videos have people ever doing it!
All it takes is acclimation and trust. Humans, in general, are very disconnected with nature. We have the ability to live in complete harmony with every wild animal, but they fear us because we are wild cards and most don't understand how to communicate without language.
They're adorable, yes, and are biologically engineered to be such great predators, their head is basically shaped like an ear, and also, while on the subject of ears, had you ever seen a 'naked' owl (the internet is weird, yes, just.. uhh.. google it. Or rather don't lol, it will haunt you), you'd have noticed their ears are right beside their eyes, you can see the backs of their eyeballs through the ear. Basically made to hear and see well, and razor sharp beak and claws to confirm the kill, and last but the most important, wings for the fastest, most silent flight. Amazing creatures!
It’s not the beak that kills typically. It’s those talons. Owls have insane grip strength in their claws and can easily crush bones (including yours!) if they so choose. The combined force of impact from an owl’s aerial “pounce” and the crushing strength of those razor-sharp claws closing around prey is often enough to kill them outright, as the owl usually grabs them along the spine, neck, or head. If it doesn’t kill immediately, it certainly incapacitates.
I actually bought that as a digital movie so I can watch it any time I remember when it first came out I was at my grandmothers and we watched it all night
It always amazes me how nature responds through loving kindness . She talks in a way which says im safe with you and thank you for your care. This is shown through so many of our wild life species, so special.
I love owls, they're really cool looking. My Sicilian grandmother discouraged me from having them because in Sicily, owls are considered messengers of death.
I’ve only ever heard barn owls making that horrible noise. Quincy is a real treat to watch! I love the clicking of his toenails. Talon nails? Thank you for showing the world your feathered child. You won’t need an angel on your Xmas tree. He LOOKS like one!

I like how she's being quiet with the owl since they're so sensitive to hearing. Atleast I think that's how owl's hearing work.
🥰🥰🥰
Think of the owl's face as like a giant ear
Then how can they stand being so loud all the time stfu owls I just want to sleep
Fun Fact: Owl ears are asymmetrical, meaning one ear is positioned higher on the head than the other ear.
@@jacobcox4565 Almost right as far as i know. One ear is pointed down, and the other pointed up. slanted more. not pointed directly up ofc. but im pretty sure they are the same "altitude" though
I’ve never heard barn owls make those kinds of squeaks before. They’re adorable.
And usually it’s all about the screeching with barn owls.
She's so beautiful. I love how her colors make her look like every phase of roasting marshmallows.

Dinosaurs
Owls do it to enhance their depth perception as their eyeballs are essentially immobile in their eyes sockets.
He really is beautiful. I love his spots.
I am delighted and so glad to hear that lovely Quincy has been released to live out her life. May she raise dozens of new Barnies!!

More like the owl trying to see better because it’s eyes are fixed and it needs to assess surroundings with head bobbing
@@smt4090 that's a video game, this is a real life video. Understand the difference
