" In 2017, researchers from Germany published a study1 showing that the secret of success lies in two characteristics of the neck in owls: 1) a division of labor between different parts of the neck and 2) the added rotations of individual neck joints that allow high rates of rotation because of their special anatomy."

"female Long-eared #Owls have a much higher concentration of these pigments in their feathers, challenging a common misconception that colorful #plumage is a male trait... We are only beginning to describe fluorescent pigments in #birds and other vertebrates"
