The little Flammulated Owl looks a bit like a Screech Owl, but it’s actually the only member of its genus, Psiloscops. It was determined there were enough physical and genetic differences, as well as different vocalization patterns that it was removed from the genus Megascops that encompasses the screechies.
The Flammulated Owl also is migratory, unlike the Screech Owls. Their diet also mostly consists of insects, while screechies have a more diverse diet.
They are so much more than a cute poof of feathers! More powers than most comic book heros.
If you haven’t read my Owl-natomy posts, scroll back to find some of them and you’ll find some more detailed info on some of their special body parts and abilities.
If you still have questions after those, just make a post and I’ll see if I can fill you in on anything!
Alright, thank you!!
