About Owls
Owls are broody, silent and furtive fliers. They are hard to train and cannot be controlled, they are also highly intelligent. With owls, you can figure out their sex by weighing them; a female owl usually weighs more than the male, though this might not be true. The female owl has a coloured streak extending from its neck, but the male owl has no coloured streak.
