Owls are beautiful birds and they are no more or less predatory than other birds of prey, they just work the night shift when many rodents are active.

One time my friend Radio God rescued an owl. It was during a powerful wind storm, the bird was injured and couldn't fly. He couldn't pick the bird up for obvious reasons. The talons and beak were no joke. The neighbor had a dog and that dog was scaring and pestering the owl. Radio went and sat by that owl, and protected that owl through the storm.
After the storm he made sure the owl was in a safe place up on a fence. The owl left on his own. But something amazing happened. The owl remembered him and came back. Radio was outside smoking and he seen a dark shadow sweep over him. It was the owl. The owl landed on a fence near Radio God. Radio called me out to come see the owl. The owl let us get right next to him. He was magnificent. I must admit, I was slightly afraid. Radio told me not to be afraid. It was strange standing face to face a few inches away from him, those eyes were piercing, and so beautiful. The owl was so huge. He could have been about 3 ft tall, and his wingspan was as wide as your arms outstretched.
That owl had come back to say thank you. For a while after Radio would often see that dark shadow go over him while he was out smoking. The owl was just stopping by.
Pretty cool story. Animals are so much more intelligent than what we give them credit for. When I was looking in his eyes, I was wondering what he was thinking, he seemed so intelligent. He had pure laser like awareness and presence, amazing.

I said " sorry no more Cheetos" and he turnd and walked away. The dog may or may not understand english but he knew what I meant. The dog and I were one, sort of

There is a language beyond words that seems to be universal. I think they can understand us because they understand the meaning behind the words. Although many domesticated animals most certainly do understand your actual language. LoL. I have a bird who definitely understands, and hell he even speaks the language, LoL.

I've reviewed the thread trying to find where I or anyone else said that owls are more (or less) predatory than other birds of prey, but I don't seem able to find it. Might you point it out? Thanks.
Also, you are correct that owls are almost exclusively active at night, as expounded in the main theme of the thread. Your confirmation is appreciated, of course.
I agree that owls are interesting, doh.
