One night I was packing up for our road trip and even discovered an owl on the lifted tailgate of my minivan. It’s pretty amazing to hear them at night and even more when you see them around our subdivision on the light poles, fences, houses. In the past few years we’ve started to notice barred owls living in our neighborhood in North Central Florida. In many cultures, owls are even seen as good luck symbols. However one owl stands out as Hedwig wins our hearts over as Harry’s owl. Harry Potter fans experience that throughout the books and movies, there are lots of owls.

Did you know you can even buy a Owl Nesting Box on Amazon to invite your local owls to your tree to next? Because mammals are a primary prey item, this can be especially beneficial to humans, reducing the amount of food lost each year to rodents. They help the environment by controlling small animal populations and are also a tourist attraction for birdwatchers in many areas. Owl play a large role in the balance of the food chain in many forests across the country. And to be honest, there are many books about owls!!! I’m excited to share with you our collection of owl books to read with your child.īut before we get started let’s talk about why you should focus on learning about owls with your child. They are an interesting bird of prey that somehow can become an adorable storybook character. One fun animal to explore with kids are owls.
