In general, owls have a flat face with large eyes, allowing them to spot small prey easily in the dark. With their distinct look, most people can easily pick out owls. One of their disadvantages is being farsighted even though they have an impressive capability of turning their heads 270 degrees. Despite not being able see things at close inspection, their binocular vision is a primary asset during their nightly hunting adventures. An owl’s hunting attributes go even further; much stealthier than other birds and owl’s flight is exceptionally quiet. Additionally, an owl’s call is projected at high volumes.
