Hot Lava Mama Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 My dd has to do a Girl Scout presentation on a "nocturnal animal" She was assigned an owl. Does anyone have any cool ideas for unique things to do for her presentation? Maybe some kind of cool thing to show some of the features? Maybe a cool craft? Anything that will make it "wow" and exciting? Your help is very much appreciated! Hot Lava Mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlifemom Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Are there any archives for Molly the barn owl? I learned a lot about barn owls from that webcam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happi duck Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) I have seen a good demo about the silent flight of owls. It has to do with the edge of their wing. The demo is twirling a normal rope and then twirling a rope with the end frayed. The frayed is much quieter and demos the difference of the wing design. I think I have seen other things about range of neck turn and size of eyes (I think: tennis ball size if an owl were kid sized). I can't go looking right now but I will add it if I can find it. eta: here's a link for the silent flight demo...scroll down to page three and look for the feather and silent flight row http://www.peregrinefund.org/docs/pdf/vmic/education/birds-of-prey-analogies.pdf I know I've done or seen other demos. Sorry I'm not finding anything else though. Edited October 10, 2012 by happi duck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
