This what I thought indeed

[@TROOPERfarcry]

Another thing, which isn't being mentioned here, is that owl-feathers are much, much less stiff. They're quite a bit softer. This not only makes the owls' flight quieter, but it also makes it difficult for owls to go very fast. This isn't much of a hinderance, because a falcon or a hawk is using speed and power to get prey, whereas an owl is using stealth.

[@randallulrich]

I read about owls many years ago and how they were silent fliers. What was mentioned there was that the trailing edges of the owl's wings were soft and ragged, which is what contributed to the silence.

I remember once when I was in elementary school, someone from a wildlife sanctuary visited and brought some animals with her -- one was a big white owl. I remember her telling us how they flew silently, and then she demonstrated it by tickling the owl a little bit on its stomach until it flapped its wings. Dead silence. That was more than 40 years ago, and I still remember how impressed I was and how beautiful that owl was. Raptors are stunning creatures.

[@pdj2995]

I’m surprised they didn’t show the main reason why it’s quiet… which is the way their feathers are formed… birds with normal feathers cut through the air as they are sharp, where the owl feathers are fluffy at the edges, which creates a more silent flight as they flap their wings through the air

The only time I've ever seen a owl close in person, was late one night when I was letting my dog out to use the bathroom. When it's dark, I take a few extra seconds when I open the door to listen and look for anything unusual before stepping out. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary so I stepped out with my dog, and suddenly these giant grey wings suddenly opened up in the middle my yard and with complete silence, flew out of my yard into the sky. I was so stunned and speechless by how quiet it was. If I wasn't looking in my yard, I would have never noticed it. Owls are so cool.

Because the old wizarding world are slave drivers. House elves, owls. With all that magic they don't need any owls, but chooses to do so.

Owls are known to be seen after supposed ufo abductions by many who claim to have come in contact. Not calling myself a believer or that it's true but it's interesting to think a bird as mysterious as this is tied to the extraterrestrial.

[@RobsWorld]

@@MichealPiksRice2 Yes, now that you mention that I remember seeing a video where the person had hypnotherapy and kept seeing the image of an owl. Upon more digging the person realized that the image of the owl was supposedly “planted” and it was really a grey alien. I am a believer but try to look for the solid cases by credible witnesses. Some of the stories told by some can come across as fantastical. I believe there is truth to some of the cases however and hopefully sometime this month the Pentagon disclosure will shed some light-but it may be wishful thinking.

[@Spenxo]

I'd like to think of it more as the stealth fighter in the bird community. With the falcon being a more attack/direct joint fighter. And the pigeon is the investment banker lol.... People dont know how they can hold themselves up in the air they're so fat (with greed lol) The hummingbird is definitely the drone/helicopter of the bird community.

[@jamesthomas1244]

Several times I have slept outside at night, been looking up at the stars, and had a white barn owl fly low across and through my vision. So smooth and silent, they leave behind only awe at their majestic passing. Little wonder aboriginal peoples have often seen them as symbolizing wisdom and mystical nature. Most beautiful, owls.

[@TheMultibest]

+JamesThomas You should write a novel. You seem talented at describing things.

[@irvingchamu8502]

In the Hispanic culture seeing a white owl symbolizes death or bad luck

[@thatshimofficer8950]

+no m8 I'm Hispanic and I never knew that o-o

[@KafshakTashtak]

+JamesThomas It's funny that in my country people used to believe that owls are bad luck. I guess it was because they used to live in ruins. I even have a hypothesis why.

[@MariosDoumou]

The ancient Greeks too. It was the symbol of goddess Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war. Even today we're using that symbol in education.
