Superb Owl. No wait, Super Bowl. Too late. That’s how one small typo makes your search results fill with owl content instead of Super Bowl.
These birds are a far away from American football, yet the craze has grown significantly over time. So much so that before the Super Bowl every year, a large number of individuals upload a ton of owl pictures to the internet. (And you are aware of the name given to a group of owls, correct? a parliament.)
This internet phenomenon puts these feathery creatures in the spotlight, which ultimately aids awareness.
And we’d like to encourage you to lean into the error. Because owls truly are “superb.”
Owls are quite fascinating. Some people mistakenly believe that these are harmless spheres of air, yet nothing could be farther from the truth.
Their disc-shaped faces funnel sound to their ears, enabling them to pick up even the most subtle sounds. Their feathers are made to nearly entirely silence them when they fly, which is a helpful tactic for sneaking up on their prey.
Most owls are content to feast on small mammals such as mice and shrews. Some larger owls such as the great horned owl can snatch up rabbits, skunks or even other owls.
