Quincy the barn owl likes to talk

Quincy is a rescued barn owl who loves to interact and chat. She's been released, but we want to share her cuteness with you..

[@torlakkarstad4251]

I’m convinced that owls are just the cats of the skies

[@LiberateWingsRescuedAnimals]

I just have to agree

[@abelq8008]

Ditto Sky-cats.

[@lisamalkin8371]

Sky kittens

[@katg4636]

agreed

[@Mooseman327]

I once read a book about animals and the chapter on owls began "Owls are, basically, flying cats." Owls and cats have the same prey (mice, voles, rabbits, etc.) and they are both basically nocturnal but can adjust and function well during the day. They have tremendous hearing (especially at higher frequencies) and can hear the chatter of mice and rabbits that we cannot. They both upchuck the fur of their prey to clean out their stomachs. Their eyes are very similar and react to movement. And they both have amazing body flexibility.

[@elite8predator883]

I like how she's being quiet with the owl since they're so sensitive to hearing. Atleast I think that's how owl's hearing work.

Fun Fact: Owl ears are asymmetrical, meaning one ear is positioned higher on the head than the other ear.

[@EE-bg2sd]

@@jacobcox4565 Almost right as far as i know. One ear is pointed down, and the other pointed up. slanted more. not pointed directly up ofc. but im pretty sure they are the same "altitude" though

They're adorable, yes, and are biologically engineered to be such great predators, their head is basically shaped like an ear, and also, while on the subject of ears, had you ever seen a 'naked' owl (the internet is weird, yes, just.. uhh.. google it. Or rather don't lol, it will haunt you), you'd have noticed their ears are right beside their eyes, you can see the backs of their eyeballs through the ear. Basically made to hear and see well, and razor sharp beak and claws to confirm the kill, and last but the most important, wings for the fastest, most silent flight. Amazing creatures!

[@LiberateWingsRescuedAnimals]

Yes yes yes... They are quite small under all that fluff

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

It’s not the beak that kills typically. It’s those talons. Owls have insane grip strength in their claws and can easily crush bones (including yours!) if they so choose. The combined force of impact from an owl’s aerial “pounce” and the crushing strength of those razor-sharp claws closing around prey is often enough to kill them outright, as the owl usually grabs them along the spine, neck, or head. If it doesn’t kill immediately, it certainly incapacitates.
