You might notice that we can't see their ears. They are located at the sides of the head, behind the eyes, and are covered by the feathers of the facial disc. The "Ear Tufts" visible on some are not ears at all, but simply display feathers.
More HERE if you'd like to read interesting information about owls. Thank you, Google! That's it for now from Cliffie!

Lovely drawing, and lovely owls, arent they wierd? and also kind of scary? the way they look at you with their eyes is strange.
By the way the link where you intended to put more info about owls is not working check it out
Take care
Thank you for letting me know, Mariana. I fixed it. They are unusual.
Owl trivia combined with ear trivia.
You are out-cliffie-ing Cliffie!
"who" knew!
Cute, Dan! :-)
That's right, Nahm. How's Vera?
My mom was a bird of prey demonstrator for a nature museum in Central Oregon. We got to go behind the scenes and into the enclosure where they lived. Big barn owl named Owliver and a tiny pygmy owl, redtail hawks and a turkey vulture among others. The kids used to help demonstrate when we were down there.
