It’s a long shot but hoping to rally some support for Barred Owl! Hurry and vote for BO! Saw Whet has that pokemon vibe and Barred does too! Snake haters, this is your owl!
Donnie will be so sad if Barred doesn’t make it to the sweet sixteen. Do it for Donnie 🦉
So they can eat a snake? I wonder if they have special adaptations for being bitten by or eating a venomous snake
Most owls won’t have an issue eating a snake if the opportunity arises, though it’s not a primary food for any of them.
Owls pretty much only ask: is it made of meat and can I get it in my mouth somehow?
Their main defense is pretty much to strike first without being detected. Other than a feather barrier, they have no special defense, and you can find stories of owls being poisoned or suffocated by snakes.
