1.Owls fly silently, while most birds create turbulence.2.It is useful for an owl to have soft feathers on its wings because the air can pass through it easily. Silent flight allows owls to sneak up on their prey.3.Rain can be deadly to owls because their feathers aren’t waterproof. Rain makes owls cold and makes it difficult for them to hunt.

Owls fly without making a sound, which makes owls different from other birds. The soft feathers on owls don’t create turbulence. Their velvety feathers have a drawback, which is not being waterproof, making them cold in the rain. Humans are studying flight in birds for aerodynamic knowledge for planes and also for biological knowledge purposes.
