| Apr 30, 2018 at 18:14 | comment | added | ShemSeger | @CharlieBrumbaugh I've been to bird shows where they have the birds of prey fly right over the audience. When they fly the owls over the crowd they tell everyone to be quite and listen to the sound of nothing as the owls swoop literally inches over people's heads. | |
| Apr 30, 2018 at 16:32 | comment | added | Charlie Brumbaugh | @ShemSeger Apparently it depends on the species "So far, that’s what she’s found: fish-eating owls have narrower combs—meaning less noise-quieting by their feathers—compared to owls eating other types of prey. Some, such as the Tawny Fish Owl and insect-eating Burrowing Owl, had little-to-no comb at all. " audubon.org/news/the-silent-flight-owls-explained | |
| Apr 30, 2018 at 16:23 | comment | added | ShemSeger | @CharlieBrumbaugh I've been close enough, we have lots of owls here, I had one fly right over my head once and never heard it coming. It was it's shadow in the moonlight flashing over my face that gave it away. | |

| Apr 30, 2018 at 15:07 | comment | added | Charlie Brumbaugh | @ShemSeger Owls aren't totally silent, if you are close enough you can definitely hear them. | |
| Apr 30, 2018 at 14:51 | comment | added | ShemSeger | Could you hear it flapping it's wings? Owls have velvety feathers and have evolved to fly silent, you can't hear them flying even when they fly directly overhead. Most other birds you can hear the whoosh of air as they flap their wings. | |
