Owls are a solitary bird that are primarly nocturnal. Owls are birds of prey and therefore hunt for their food, which consists mainly of rodents and other small mammals. Owls can rotate their head and neck up to 270 degrees in both directions. This helps the owl to see prey easily in any direction.

Owls are often studied in science lessons along with other nocturnal birds. The lessons include science vocabulary that relate to owls. Along with the vocabulary, teachers enjoy including games and puzzles in their lessons. Practicing with games about owls is helpful to students by reinforcing the material. Another great benefit to these games is the increase in spelling, reading, and retention skills.
