CONTENT PREVIEW

The Wise Owl

Owls are birds that are active at night. They have big eyes that help them see in the dark. Owls can turn their heads almost all the way around! This helps them look for food without moving their bodies. Many owls eat small animals like mice and rats. They have sharp claws called talons that help them catch their prey. Owls are very quiet when they fly, which makes it easier for them to surprise their food. During the day, owls usually sleep in trees or hidden spots.
