I had absolutely no idea and I am just knowing now. Haha.

Hmmm

What a pity... I was only 6 days old when I found out. cry

Innocence lost so early.

But on a serious note, I believe the legs are there to serve one purpose which is to aid the Owl pick up and grip its prey effortlessly and not to aid fast/ rapid locomotion, if you get my point.

I mean, its ability to fly long distances more than makes up for it.

Last year. This bird makes a very nice pet but sadly, "Foolish Nigerians" believe it is used by witches

Our movie industry promoted that nonsense

You are exactly correct. Owls don't move long distances for the most part of their lives so the long legs can't possibly be for locomotion.

Of course. I strongly believe the leg was simply adapted for hunting and nothing more.

I don’t believe it. OP is also fond of posting falsehood because she finds them entertaining. I’ll disregard this till proven otherwise.
