It’s funny how train of thought works; the second I thought of owls in the daylight, my brain jumped right to Harry Potter and wham, there’s Jim Dale in my head saying “Chapter One: The Boy Who Lived”
These owls have bright eyes, so they are already adapted to hunting in daylight.
Night-active owls generally have black eyes (like tawny owls and ural owls), those most active at dusk/dawn have orange or red eyes (like short-eared owl and eagle owls). Those that hunt during the day have bright yellow eyes (like the eurasian pygmy owl and northern hawk owls)
Owls can still see pretty well during the day. However, since their pupils are adapted to night vision, they can’t contract as much as us (or basically any diurnal animal). So to avoid burning their retina, they halfway close their eyes, like you do when you have the sun in the face.
“It’s much cooler to hunt when everyone can see you”
What???
I get that the entire joke is drawing the owl with le meme glasses on but could have come up with a more believable/ actually part of the joke reason for it to happen than that
i wonder if 20 years from now kids will be posting this stuff on r/boomerhumour and we’ll be shaking our fists at them telling then to get off our damn subreddit
Am I missing something? I don’t understand the punchline. Is this a “Deal with it” reference? I’m grasping right now because it feels like this got cross posted from /r/antimeme and I’m taking crazy pills here.
owls hunt by hearing, not sight. Owls typically hunt in the dark to avoid predatory birds like hawks and so that their prey doesn’t see them, as they’re not nearly as fast as a hawk or other raptor.
Some people perpetuate the false idea that owls fly so silently so as the sneak up on their prey. Actually, owl wings are silent so that the owl can use its exceptional hearing to locate their prey by the sounds it makes in the grass. If the owls wings made noise when they flapped, it would drown out the sounds of their prey.

That was a uncommonly cute punchline. Almost a little dadjoke. I am incredibly motivated to read all the author has made.
Hilarious..

Thanks for reading the

Sun never sets on a badass.
You should watch a video about why owls hunt at night it’s pretty interesting. It has a lot to do with eagles

Fun fact: owls get attacted by other birds during daylight if they don’t hide.
