Sleeping habits

Just watched a video on how some owls, or maybe all of them, can sleep face-down. It would be interesting to add it to the article. - Joaquin89uy (talk) 11:18, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Under Families in the infobox, please link Palaeoglaucidae to Palaeoglaux as Palaeoglaux is the only known genus in the family. Also add the Ypresiglaucidae family (linked to Ypresiglaux). 50.196.175.13 (talk) 16:21, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Regarding Palaeoglaucidae, I don't see why it should be linked to Palaeoglaux if it isn't the actual family. Regarding Ypresiglaucidae, a source will be needed to add that. Thanks! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 01:54, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Poetic Access

There is a poem by Baudelaire: ´´ The Owls´´. Perhaps one could bring it in, there are some english versions. ( Ulftomme ) 2A00:1830:A001:F007:0:0:0:8 (talk) 14:54, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
