2 Small Roosters in a Cage

5 CRAZY FACTS ABOUT OWLS THAT WILL SURPRISE YOU:* *1. Their necks can rotate 270 degrees* Not 360 degrees, as seen in movies. They have 14 neck vertebrae (humans only have 7), which prevents their blood vessels from being compressed when they turn their heads. A 360-degree turn would actually break their necks. *2. Their eyes cannot move* Their eyeballs aren't spherical; they are shaped like tubes or telescopes and are fixed to the skull. That’s why they have to turn their entire head to look left or right. However, their night vision is 100 times sharper than that of humans. *3. They fly in complete silence* Their feathers have comb-like edges, which muffle the sound of the wind. Prey—such as mice—don't hear them coming until they are already being snatched. *4. They can hear a mouse under 30cm of snow* Their ears are asymmetrical—the left one is positioned higher than the right. This allows them to pinpoint the location of their prey based on a sound-arrival time difference of just 0.00001 seconds. *5. In Indonesia, they are often seen as a bad omen; elsewhere, they are considered lucky* In Java, an owl hooting on a roof is believed to signal an impending death. In the UK (and the *Harry Potter* series), they are seen as messengers—a sign of good fortune. In Japan, they are called *fukuro*, which implies "no hardship," making them a symbol of good luck. #Owl #smallowl #small #two
