I remember seeing the first part of this series of photos depicting Owls, and I was so impressed. Most of these birds are prey or raptors, which means they hunt their prey for food, using their beaks and sharp claws. Their claws and beaks tend to be relatively large, potent and adapted for tearing and/or piercing meat. Not to mention the size they can be! I think it's a good thing they're tied up because that's the only way you could take pictures. Nice Saturday for you, @velimir!
