About this ebook
Owls are birds. They have a round, bird-shaped body with many feathers. They also have large wings. Their wings are very big compared to the size of their body.
Most owls are brown, tan and white. Some of them are all white or all brown. These colors help the owl blend into nature.
Owls have very sharp claws on their feet. They use these to hunt with.
They have sharp beaks. They use their beak to eat and fight with. Their beak curves down at the end.
Their bottom beak moves up and down. The edges of the beak are very sharp. This lets the owl cut pieces of food off their prey. Their beak acts like a pair of scissors.
