'Who cooks for you....who cooks for you all' In the spring...while turkey hunting...barred owls are very social; can be called right in close by mimickng that call. They come in close and it is a joy to talk to them, even though they know perfectly well I am not an owl, but it just doesn't seem to matter to them.
Also the hearing of an owl is superb and its the auditory ques thet they use in hunting the most, not visual ques. This was found out when observing owls hunting mice thru snow that was thick, like 2-4 feet, thats 1 meter of snow. The eye sight is nothing to laugh about either but it is not the main thing they use to hunt.
An Owl is a Pigeon filled with anger and knowledge, basically a violent balloon covered in feathers. An Owl's natural predators are hurricanes and wizards. Owls live for 300 years if they don't die first.
