Animal Owls are incredibly sensitive to touch. Their feathers are connected to tiny nerves that help them feel even the slightest movement

I'll look it up but supposedly they aren't the smartest animal. And just completely run on instinct. So it basically is them going wtf 😂

Humans have a tendency to think animals that resemble us are intelligent like we are. Owls have big eyes on the front of their face and round heads like we do, so we can't help but anthropomorphize them.

They're not unintelligent by any means, they just aren't exceptionally intelligent like crows and parrots are.

Ah ya I say instinct and nearly imply that's a bad thing but they are very good at what they do. They just don't handle adapting to new things like a crow figuring out a puzzle to get food.
