Owls are able to turn three quarters of the way around and turn their heads very quickly. Owls have necks that are very flexible and are able to move their heads in all directions. People also believe that owls are blind during daylight hours. They can see perfectly well in daylight and see exceptionally well at night. Their excellent eyesight at night is used for hunting food.
Owls have the best hearing of all birds.
Their ears are located on the sides of their heads and are hidden by feathers. The ear-tufts at the top of an owl s head have nothing to do with how the owl hears. All owls are predators. They catch, kill and eat other animals to survive. Owls seize small animals such as mice and kill them with their powerful feet.
