Owls are a group of birds that are members of the order of Strigiformes.
This bird is a class of birds (carnivores, meat eaters) and is a night animal (nocturnal). Altogether, there are about 222 known species, which spread all over the world except Antarctica, most of Greenland, and some remote islands.

Owls are known for their large, forward-faced eyes, unlike most other birds whose eyes are facing sideways. With a sharp crooked beak like the eagle's beak and the plume of hair on the head that forms a circle of faces, the "face" look of the owl is so impressive and sometimes creepy. Moreover, the bird's neck is so flexible that its face can rotate 180 degrees to the rear.

Generally owl feathers dotted, brownish or gray with black and white patches. Combined with his often statuesque and motionless behavior, this bird is not easily visible; so even when sleeping during the day under the protection of the leaves.
