Hi everyone...
1. Understanding
In simple terms an owl can be defined as one group of birds that are "Order Strigiformes". This bird belongs to the group of birds of prey and is an animal of the night or often referred to as "cold-blooded animal" Sometimes the Indonesians mention for example, the name in the area of Java this bird is darès or manuk darès which has no connotation with death or ghosts, while from the area for example, Aceh Province mentions "Ticeim Keutoktok". Of course other regions also mention another name.

The beak is bent and strong, while it is also said to be another prey meat. Dirty beak and yellow. Broken feet and sharp nails so they have a strong grip.
