Fun Facts About Owls

  • An owl’s face has a round feather disk that helps guide sounds toward hidden ears (Smithsonian).
  • Owls cannot move their eyes side to side like people do, so they turn their flexible necks to look around (National Park Service).
  • Soft fringes on owl wing feathers help make their flight very quiet (National Park Service).
  • Barred owls are known for being very vocal and common in North America (Smithsonian's National Zoo).
