Re: General Owl Discussion
I just had to look up what Ron's owl looked like xD- looks like a White Faced Scops^^ Same as Transformer Owl.
I'm so happy^^ My grandmother finally sent me back my better owl caller that I left in Kentucky over the summer. I can't wait to try it out finally in my local park where the Barred Owls are~

I was on a website called Wimp.com and I found a video of this guy moving a brown owl to show it's incredible head stability. Link:

Re: General Owl Discussion
They do have gorgeous plumage- if you like the more pure white Snowy Owls, then those are usually the males. I actually took some picture at Zooamerica of the two Snowies they had there, one male and one female:Melanny wrote:I like snow owl because I love all animals with white fur(and another color of fur of course).

Re: General Owl Discussion
I like the great horned owl, the barred owl, and the barn owl.
Iv'e seen some in zoo's and in bird/animal sanctuaries at national parks.
I once encountered with a wild great horned owl. She looked down at me from to top of a telephone poll and hooted at me. And when she flew, her wings did not make a sound. Someone told me that the Native Americans call these birds "hush wings" because their wings make no flapping sounds in flight.

Re: General Owl Discussion
Have any of you all heard of the Raptor Project? It specializes in birds of prey and promoting their beauty and well-being. They have a traveling show that involves falconry and training of birds that are unable to return to the wild. If you'd like to know more, here is their website. It is a really great project and a ton of fun to watch.

<3 OWLS
I like barn owls. I dunno why, I've just always really enjoyed them.
I believe I've seen one of their shows before. :D

Re: General Owl Discussion
Just going to creep onto this topic again....
So I've started my own tumblr where I post about owls, and while looking for pictures to post, I find all sorts of interesting things. One example is a barn owl who has melanism:

Re: General Owl Discussion
You should definitely try to see an owl- way cooler in person than just seeing pictures. ;D
Currently I'm working on a school project on the Blakiston's Fish Owl. They're big owls, for sure.

Re: General Owl Discussion
My favourite type of owl is the barn owl. They always look so beautiful.

Re: General Owl Discussion
To be honest, I'm not really a fan of owls. (Saw a movie and now I'm creeped out by owls.) But my favorite would have to be either an elf owl or a great horned owl.
