To-wit-to-woo, to-wit-to-woo!What's that strange sound coming from the forest in the moonlight?It's an owl, of coursel All day long, seated comfortably on a tree, the owl is sleeping or at least he's trying to snooze because it's sometimes hard to close the eyes with all the sounds made by the little birds and animals in the forest!The owl hunts only at night. When evening comes, the animals all get to a safe place. The owl opens its big, round eyes. Any little animal around had better watch out!The owl mostly eats small animals like mice, but it wouldn't say no to another bird if it gets the chance!
The owl uses its fantastic hearing to find its food, and then it turns its head from side to side, using its sharp eyes to follow the animal. Finally, it flies down to get the animal. Owls have special, soft feathers, so they can fly without making any sound. Owls are such good hunters that they can even catch a fly in the air!
The owl is quiet most of the time, except when you get too close to its home. The owl is a great mother, who will protect her babies by opening her feathers angrily. An owl will even hurt people if she thinks her babies are in danger!
An owl has no teeth, so it eats an animal whole. All the parts of the animal that the owl can't digest(消化)will end up as small pieces. If you find these small pieces, you know you are near an owl's home.
