Awesome Owls
I think owls are awesome animals. They have thick bodies and strong hooked beaks to eat little animals. They grab animals with their sharp claws or talons. Most of the owls species have feathers on their legs and toes. The owl has feathers covering the beak.
Owls have feathers sticking up on their head that look like ears, but these are not ears! Their ears are on the side of their head. The feathers sticking up on their head are like satellites and the noise reflects off the feathers and into their ears.
Owls come in different sizes. For example, the elf owl is only 6 inches long! The largest owl is the great gray owl which is up to 30 inches long and its wingspan is around 5 feet wide!!
Owls eat mice,rats,moles,squirrels and skunks.They also eat insects.They kill the animal with their talons then they rip it to
shreds. Owls communicate with each other by making “whooo” noises. They tell each other if there is danger, also they ask each other for help in capturing animals that are too big for one owl to pick up!
