Owl eyes come in a wide range of colors. There are a bunch with dark brown or black eyes, but many times they are just really dilated. If you haven't seen the comment below, they can dilate them separately from each other and have a lot of manual control over them, and they work really really fast compared to our own eyes.

Barn Owl

Flammulated Owl

Tawny Owl

Brown Wood Owl

Checking out what eye color is one of my favorite parts of learning about a new owl!

Ok, that Brown Wood Owl needs to model for a makeup company though

Like they say, a wood owl is a good owl!
