The species are classified as polymorphic because of the vast colouration and size difference between the sexes. The colouration enables the species to camouflage within their ecosystem to aid their survival and maintain nourishment.

The poems “A Barred Owl” and “The History Teacher” by Richard Wilbur and Billy Collins respectively, depict two different scenarios in which an adult deceives a child/children, which ranges from the sounds of a bird at night, to the history of the world itself. “A Barred Owl” depicts two parents who lie to their daughter about an owl who woke her in the night, while “The History Teacher” involves a man who tries to protect his students by using education as a tool to deceive them. Both poets use diction, imagery, and rhyme to help them convey a certain tone in their poems.

Particularly in 'Barn Owl' and 'The Spelling Prize', Harwood examines children's sadness as they go on their journey from innocence to experience. As time progresses and children begin their development towards adulthood, certain experiences and the way they respond to them can have a significant impact on their growth. In reference to the poem, 'Barn Owl', Harwood suggests that through experiencing and seeing it with their own eyes, they begin to realise the horror of reality. It can have an impact on children's growth as it will be a memories that will be with them permanently. Harwood goes on a journey where she transitions from being an 'obedient, angel-mind' child into a child who has unwittingly tortured an innocent creature. The fact that
The California Spotted Owl (Strix occidentalis occidentalis) is a subspecies of the Spotted Owl. They are found in northwestern California, western Oregon, western Washington, and southwestern British Columbia. They live in old growth forests around 200 years old, preferring Douglas-fir and high canopy areas. They are described as medium sized, brown owls with white spots. The California Spotted Owl has a height of about 1.5 feet and a wing span of around 4 feet. The California Spotted Owl is a nocturnal bird whose diet consists of rodents, reptiles, invertebrates and birds. The lifespan of the California Spotted Owl is around ten years. They mate for life and require a vast amount of territory (National Wildlife Federation, 2015).

When children’s mental capabilities are not developed and mature enough to digest complex concepts, whether scientific or historical, adults often replace the facts with simplified stories. In “A Barred Owl” and “The History Teacher,” the poets present the idea that adults always attempt to shield their children from the danger of the outside world. The former speaker employs onomatopia to facilitate children to overcome fear, and the latter euphemizes the cruelty of warfare. However, while the former adopts a playful tone and style to “domesticate fear” (Wilbur 8), the latter aims to “protect… innocence” in a sarcastic tone (Collins 1), resulting

Jochen Wolf, a biologist from Uppsala University located in Sweden has been studying two very similar birds, the Carrion Crows and Hooded Crows. The two types of birds are located in Germany and Sweden. Even though they look different with a black and a gray body, the two birds can mate. They would much rather mate with their own type though. When you are painting and you mix blue and yellow together, you know it should make green. If it doesn’t, you know something's wrong because it should always be green..Something scientist have been working on has been giving them that problem when they breed. The two birds aren’t changing.
Other challenge that most albino animals face according to the color on, color off article is mating, several studies of birds including ravens, barn swallows, red-winged blackbirds, and penguins, have demonstrated that albino birds have trouble winning a mate, albino birds were consistently rejected, perhaps because they lacked the characteristics, such as feather color and pattern, that potential mates rely on to make choices.
