Owl Facts

Hello Again!

I haven't been here so long because I'm busy with school and I forget sometimes...

I've been reading a series called "Guardians of Ga'Hoole". It's about an owl named Soren who is brought to and Academy for Orphan Owls and meets an Elf Owl named Gylfie. The Academy  is not a nice place, the owls who run the Academy want to take over all the owl kingdoms. Together Soren and Gylfie escape the academy. They meet an owl called Twilight in the forest and they find an owl named Digger in the desert.
Now I'm reading the second book of the series called "The Journey".

I learned a lot of facts about owls from these books. 

There are many different kinds of owls, some of the ones I learned about are: 

Barn Owl,  they have amazing hearing, they can hear a mouse on the ground from far above.

Elf Owls, they have an excellent ability to see in complete darkness.

Burrowing Owl, they are good at running and live in the ground.

Great Grey Owl, they are one of the largest owls in the world.

I learned that owls eat their prey whole and later they threw up the pellet  which is the bones of the owl's pray. Owls have gizzards, gizzards are the muscular second stomachs that push out the pellets out. Owls' claws are called talons. When owls grow their flight feathers and are ready to fly they are fully fledged. And these are some of the things I learned about owls so far. Thanks for reading this!
