The Guardians of Ga’Hoole , Jareth the Goblin King , and Harry Potter ’s courier owls have the mogul of creep up on people . So do hooter in real life , due to the design of their wings and feathers .
hooter are the bird of choice for the freaky supernatural existence . They look cool . They have the freaky - head - turn affair going for them . Mostly they elicit the otherworldly because they can move silently through the melody ; sneaking up on their fair game from out of the darkness . . . RIGHTNOW !
The owl ’s fender is broad and rounded compared to that of other birds , which reach for less flapping , and a quieter ride through the air . That reduces some sound , but an hooter is tranquil even compared to other Bronx cheer when they glide . It ’s more than just a difference in extension measurements . It ’s the fact that hooter are fully upholstered so as to maintain silence .

The inside of music studio , concert dormitory and moving-picture show field of operations is covered with blocks of fabric . These muffle voice and prevent echoing . An bird of Minerva ’s hard open , specifically its leg and pes , are covered with soft feathered that muffle randomness .
It ’s the annex plumage that are really counterintuitive , though . Most people , when designing something that throw fiddling randomness , will make it as silky and rounded as possible . That ferment out to be a mistake . A sleek , streamlined thing wo n’t have any extra part slam off each other or creak in the wind . As we’veseen before , though , it willhave turbulence . Turbulence is move air and moving zephyr realize noise .
