Owls are some of the most well known birds in the world. Everyone loves them, and they get really excited if they see one. Maybe it's something about their creepy hoots and nocturnal lifestyle, making it seem almost like they are magical. Maybe it's because owls look sort of like us, but large, flat faces with big eyes. Or maybe it’s because they can turn their heads all the way around and do things normal birds can’t. Whatever it is, owls seem to fascinate us. But by far the most loved and sought-after owl is the Snowy Owl.
