In the movie Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of
Ga'Hoole, brother owls are kidnapped and taken by an evil owl king who
wants to create an army of owls. One of the brothers escapes this fate and
searches for the legendary Guardians, owls whose stories are told in myth, to
ask their help in stopping the evil owl king. The
brothers are separated, with each choosing their respective sides in the
ensuing battle.
The animated film perhaps stands out for featuring hundreds
of different species of owls, wonderful creatures best known for hunting at
night. These nocturnal birds are known for their large, expressive eyes that
shine in the dark. The large eyes of owls serve a utilitarian purpose, helping
them see in the dark, especially when hunting at night.
Owls are carnivorous, living mainly off small birds,
lizards, bugs and smaller mammals like mice. They have very good hearing and
can turn their heads 270 degrees around.
Owls come in different shapes and sizes, with some just a few
inches tall with others having wingspans that reach up to 10 feet. These birds
of prey also come in different colors, depending on the environment and the
species of the owl. Another characteristic that owls are known to have is their
familiar sound or call. They make a “hoot” sound when they are excited or
threatened. It’s also a form of communication with other owls.
Interestingly enough, owls have always been shrouded in
mystery, perhaps due to their nocturnal behavior. In the past, these birds were
linked to the supernatural and the occult, a sad label since they are actually
harmless. In fact, if a person gets too close to them, they usually just fly
off to another tree and stay as far away as possible. They are very solitary
creatures, which means that they prefer to be alone. You can find owls
everywhere around the world, from tropical islands to cold and snowy countries.
