For owls that are superb.

Another unique species of eagle owl.

I'd like to tell you about these guys, but very little is known about them.

The only really best fact is that they almost exclusively use stick nests built by the Wooly Neck Stork.

As a reminder, owls do not make their own nests. The fate of owls is bonded to that of other species and specific types of trees and trees of a certain age. That's why we can't focus on saving specific organisms; everything is linked to the success of numerous other creatures.

If you didn't see the introduction to the Spot Bellied Eagle Owl from the other day, make sure you check that out too!

Wow owls really are the cats of the bird world

I'm campaigning for cats to be ground owls instead of owls being sky cats.

Owls have all powers cats have, plus flight.

Owls evolved 15 million years ago, while cats are 10-12 million, so owls have been doing it longer as well.

That puts the owls as the example in my book! ๐Ÿ˜
