FUN FACTS
Members of the eagle owl family have small tufts of feathers on the tops of their heads called ‘ear tufts’, these are nothing to do with their hearing but are actually more like mood indicators!
Owls produce a pellet every day, a neat package of all of the parts of their food they cannot fully digest, such as bones and feathers!
Owls have 14 bones in their necks to allow them to turn their heads 270 degrees. Humans only have seven, and even a giraffe only has seven!
