Owls are nocturnal, which means they are active during the night and sleep during the day. The colour of their feathers helps them to camouflage into their surroundings. A group of owls is called a parliament.

Owls use their sharp claws to catch their prey. They eat insects, small mammals and even other birds. Unlike other birds, when they fly they are very quiet which helps them to sneak up on their prey.
