Great horned owls, in general, don’t have a whole lot to say.
Their polar opposites are cockatoos and parrots and other feathered blabbermouths that will gladly launch into a round of “Old McDonald Had A Farm†for no apparent reason, or break out into a flamboyant dance whenever one of their favorite songs comes on. But not so with owls, who remain largely silent other than their trademark “hoo-hoo-hoo.”
