An owl is any BIRD of the order Strigiformes,
found worldwide. They are mainly nocturnal
birds of prey, with mobile heads, soundless
flight, acute hearing, and forward-facing
immobile eyes, surrounded by `facial discs'
of rayed feathers. All species lay white
eggs, and begin incubation as soon as the
first is laid. They regurgitate indigestible
remains of their prey in pellets (castings).
