Year 3 World of Owls Visit

23rd Feb 2022

Mike, from The World of Owls, came to visit us. He introduced us to 2 amazing owls. We met Bowie, a barn owl and Harley, a Eurasian Eagle owl. Harley flapped his wings for us, but only if we said please. Bowie wowed us with his silent flying around our hall. Harley is a very famous owl who has appeared on Harry Potter and many other programmes. We found out when owls come out, depending on the colour of their eyes. We learned about how their talons have razor sharp edges and the types of things they like to eat. We also discovered they don't fly in the rain as their feathers are not waterproof.

We also met a bearded dragon and a snake!

Mike told us that if we ever find an injured animal that we should..... LEAVE IT ALONE and get an adult to ring for help!
