Many species of birds exhibit anti-predator behaviors when they encounter owls, such as mobbing, vocalizing, or fleeing. These behaviors are part of a survival strategy to avoid being preyed upon by owls.
Owls are nocturnal predators that hunt primarily at night, which gives them an advantage over birds that are active during the day. Owls have excellent eyesight and hearing, allowing them to detect and locate prey from a distance. They also have sharp talons and powerful beaks that they use to capture and kill their prey.
