here are true facts about be Owl. baby Owls are called Owlets and they look like a cotton ball that grew a face, and legs. Owlets are born without flight feathers. the Owl has large front facing eyes which give it a wide range of binocular vision. its eyes on nearly immobile in their sockets and therefore it must swivel its head around its neck to see. Some owls bob their heads up and down in order to maximize their depth perception. try it right now. focus on object and bob your head up and down. that's right keep bobbing your head. it doesn't really work for humans, but you do look like an idiot. as the Owl grows older it developes its flying feathers oh my thats cute, he's like little baby. He likes being pet, its really the eyes isn't it, it's adorable. oh look this ones playing with his friend. wait, what you doing to that Bird? crap you're not playing don't try to hide it. I already saw it. beneath those fluffy feathers the owl is what we call a bird of prey. because it eats prey. just as the as the Owls call us apes of the hamburger, because we eat hamburgers. The Owl is a specialized hunting machine its talons on are zygodactyl, two in front two in back, and their grip is the strongest of the raptors 500 pounds per square inch eight times stronger than the human. they crush their victims, then tear off little strips before swallowing them whole... digesting them and then vomiting out the bones and fur in a small pellet. and this is why it's polite to throw up at an owl dinner party. The Owl is a quiet hunter. it has specialized feathers on the front of its wings that reduce turbulence and allow it to fly in relative silence. if silence were loudness they would be the loudest flying bird. that's a terrible metaphor. the Owl's face is basically like a giant ear. The specialized feathers of its facial disc channel sound to its ear holes, like a fuzzy satellite dish. that's nasty, yep thats an earhole many owls have asymmetrical year holes; one is higher than the other. By sensing tiny differences in the delay in volume of sound as it arrives in each ear, ...the Owl is able to create a three-dimensional auditory map of its surroundings. try riding a bicycle at night and picking up on moving burrito with your feet, based on the sound that it makes. That is how an Owl do. When they aren't being quiet, Owls make a wide variety of sounds. perhaps the most famous of these sounds is the 'hoo hoo' sound made by some Owls. It reminds me of the fairy tale, where a young girl is lost in the forest, and she sees an Owl and asked it 'do you know where my mother is?' and the Owl responds 'why the hell would I know where your mother is?!' 'are you stupid? and why are you fairy tale children always getting lost in forests and hallucinating about animals that can talk?" and then the owl swooped down and ripped the little girl's face off and ate her eyeballs. and then the owl hooted 'hoo hoo' it's a German fairy tale so its a little dark I guess. maybe it's the translation? Nope not the translation. says right here rips her face off. oh god there's even a picture. just remember don't do drugs because an Owl may just to rip your face off

Description

The little grey woodpecker is a very small woodpecker, growing to a length of between 12 and 14 cm (4.7 and 5.5 in). The beak is relatively long and broad. The male has a red hind crown and nape while the female lacks these. Otherwise the sexes are similar. The head is brown with a slight white supercilium and a narrow darker brown moustachial stripe. The upper parts of the body are greyish-brown barred with white and so are the wings and tail. The rump and upper tail coverts are red, which is particularly noticeable in flight. The beak is grey, the feet greenish-grey and the eye brown. Juveniles resemble adults but the general effect is duller. The plumage of the little grey woodpecker, especially the facial features, fade very rapidly and this bird can be confused with the brown-backed woodpecker (Dendropicos obsoletus). However, that species has a more distinctly contrasting brown and white head and plain brown plumage, and lacks the red rump.[2]

Ecology

Little is known about the ecology of this species. Its typical habitat is steppe with scattered trees, wadis and dry stream beds. It feeds in trees such as Acacia and Balanites by pecking and hammering to obtain insects. Breeding has been observed between October and May in different parts of its range. A nest has been observed in the branch of an Acacia.[2]
