Another thing, which isn't being mentioned here, is that owl-feathers are much, much less stiff. They're quite a bit softer. This not only makes the owls' flight quieter, but it also makes it difficult for owls to go very fast. This isn't much of a hinderance, because a falcon or a hawk is using speed and power to get prey, whereas an owl is using stealth.
I read about owls many years ago and how they were silent fliers. What was mentioned there was that the trailing edges of the owl's wings were soft and ragged, which is what contributed to the silence.
According to Legend The Greek Goddess Athena prized The Owl . It can navigate in complete darkness , it can move swiftly and silently and quite an intelligent bird .
I remember seeing an owl in my backyard and it flew from one tree to another and I heard absolutely nothing. It was like a phantom. Definitely strange and fascinating.
We used to have owls in my younger days in the backyard of my father's house... I remember the sound of their call and their shape in the air, completely mute. Nothing more.
i’ve seen this so many times. but everytime i’m amazed at how beautiful it is. the birds, the soft voice, the soundwaves, the feathers and the slow motion. it’s really a piece of art!
Stop watching it & wasting your time. Instead do something real, get a white owl baby, raise it & teach it. If you're really into it, do something, watching again & again is equal to doing nothing. If you do nothing, you'll be nothing.
@@BrandNewByxor no, wavelength would correlate to pitch, each Crest here is louder than the trough, but crests being closer together don't mean higher pitch, just less time between each wing beat.

Owls always screech before they dive for their prey. The reason they screech is to make their target froze in fear, the same way we humans froze and try not no make any sound when we are in extreme danger.

Several times I have slept outside at night, been looking up at the stars, and had a white barn owl fly low across and through my vision. So smooth and silent, they leave behind only awe at their majestic passing. Little wonder aboriginal peoples have often seen them as symbolizing wisdom and mystical nature. Most beautiful, owls.
+JamesThomas It's funny that in my country people used to believe that owls are bad luck. I guess it was because they used to live in ruins. I even have a hypothesis why.
I’m surprised they didn’t show the main reason why it’s quiet… which is the way their feathers are formed… birds with normal feathers cut through the air as they are sharp, where the owl feathers are fluffy at the edges, which creates a more silent flight as they flap their wings through the air

At our house we have owls flying arounds us constantly, you will see 3 - 5 owls at night flying. My step dad cared for a barn owl (he found it as a baby and raised it) he said it freaked him out at times because he would leave the owl in one room and go into the living room, garage or some room and the owl will come flying silently to my step dad, landing on his shoulders staring at him.
That's a good story, I'm curious though having an owl around the house did it just deficate anywhere it wanted? I remember not too long ago a small bat got into my house and I was sleeping I don't know how long it was in my room it was my cats miaowing that woke me up. I sat up and saw it flying right for my face it startled the hell out of me. It then clamped to the door jam I got it to go in a cardboard box and released it back outside.
I love the little details and choice of music. The "soundwave" they leave behind while flying, the comparison with the moving feathers-calling it "a little bit more than a whisper" and the calm voice of the voice actor. I dont know why, but when something is made so simply yet beautiful it makes me emotional ❤
I love it. This proves what I actually experienced it in the wild. I was hiking down a trail and night fall came upon me quick. A large white owl flew right across the path feet in front of me. I got scared, ovious. The most amazing part about it is that I never heard it. It was completely silent. I was so dumbfounded on how I didn't even hear a sound from it's wings.
I had a similar experience. It was shortly before Christmas Eve, I was playing in the park and suddenly a large white object flew in front of me, I saw it for the first time in my life, I got scared and ran home😅 At home my grandmother and mother asked me what happened, so I told them what I saw and they started laughing at me😏 Then I found out from them that it was a Snowy Owl and that I should be happy instead of being scared, because this species is very rarely to see in our region. But how was I supposed to know how such a large bird flew by before my eyes like a badass😄
I was lucky to see one last summer when visiting my family one night. I was running down the road with my cousins and it was perched ahead of us on one of the power line posts. It flew right over us as we approached and disappeared into the night (couldn’t tell what type it was, but had dark feathers)

I don't see any group of owls doing that...now, i let YOU do the math.
Owls are one of the most underrated and yet most fascinating animals I've ever encountered. I use to sit outside and just watch this little great owl fly from tree to tree. Now that I live in the country, I am always hearing different type of owls. Beautiful birds. Very majestic.
I first had an encounter with an owl almost sundown riding my horse on the trail i did not hear it , flew out of the tree and the wing span was the width of the trail naturally we loped behind it and it was like the three of us were one one of the best feelings of my life
@@naturefrc3986 hey, Filip Selakovic was joking and I'm sure of that 100% xD Haven't you come across this phrase - "don't assume [one's] gender" - used as a meme throughout the internet? :D
The only time I've ever seen a owl close in person, was late one night when I was letting my dog out to use the bathroom. When it's dark, I take a few extra seconds when I open the door to listen and look for anything unusual before stepping out. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary so I stepped out with my dog, and suddenly these giant grey wings suddenly opened up in the middle my yard and with complete silence, flew out of my yard into the sky. I was so stunned and speechless by how quiet it was. If I wasn't looking in my yard, I would have never noticed it. Owls are so cool.
I live next to a church (of all places) and one evening, around 9pm a huge owl flew over my head, it was like 1m above me and if I didn't look up I would have never known it was there, it was completely silent in his flight! Amazing birds!

As a kid, this video sparked such admiration for owls in me that after 8 years, as an adult now, I got an owl tattoo yesterday. I just wanted to thank the creators of this video for the lasting inspiration.
Owls are known to be seen after supposed ufo abductions by many who claim to have come in contact. Not calling myself a believer or that it's true but it's interesting to think a bird as mysterious as this is tied to the extraterrestrial.
@@MichealPiksRice2 Yes, now that you mention that I remember seeing a video where the person had hypnotherapy and kept seeing the image of an owl. Upon more digging the person realized that the image of the owl was supposedly “planted” and it was really a grey alien. I am a believer but try to look for the solid cases by credible witnesses. Some of the stories told by some can come across as fantastical. I believe there is truth to some of the cases however and hopefully sometime this month the Pentagon disclosure will shed some light-but it may be wishful thinking.
I'd like to think of it more as the stealth fighter in the bird community. With the falcon being a more attack/direct joint fighter. And the pigeon is the investment banker lol.... People dont know how they can hold themselves up in the air they're so fat (with greed lol) The hummingbird is definitely the drone/helicopter of the bird community.
Pigeons are loud flyers because they're social animals, their wings are designed to alert others if one spots a predator. They can also use their wings offensively too, there are videos of pigeons slapping others with their wings.
Owls have been used as inspiration to make wind turbines more quiet. The small feathers at the trailing edge of their wings absorb the sound. In wind turbines this is sometimes mimicked by a sawtooth-pattern on the trailing-edge of the blade. It's designed to smoothly mix the air from both sides of the blade, reducing the amount of sound generated.
I remember once when I was in elementary school, someone from a wildlife sanctuary visited and brought some animals with her -- one was a big white owl. I remember her telling us how they flew silently, and then she demonstrated it by tickling the owl a little bit on its stomach until it flapped its wings. Dead silence. That was more than 40 years ago, and I still remember how impressed I was and how beautiful that owl was. Raptors are stunning creatures.
Bernardas ... a female Snowy Owl ... you can tell because the females have the black spots, whilst males are pure white. Also, females are a bit bigger than males, which is unusual for both birds in general, and owls in particular ...
Paul McGann has such an incredible voice for a narrator and radio. Shame he doesn’t get more documentary type work like this. Could listen to him all day.
Dzulfiqar Bagas Tito if you look closely at the comment it states less flap not no flap so don’t jump to conclusions and yes owls glide more than they do flap their wings that’s why they generate less sound
Lol whaddya know.. I was just getting back at duolingo after dropping out a language and then I saw your comment. What are you learning right now? I'm learning Japanese basics.

@@carr0760 lol me too 🤣
Right? I was gonna right that! So peaceful
Think the narrator is Paul Mcgann. He was in Withnail & I and Doctor Who. He has done quite a lot of voice over work for British documentaries.
Very soothing indeed
Owls: have extraordinary aerodynamic wings for efficient flying.
Also owls: have flat face
It's always a pleasure watching professionals at work. 👍
Oh, the humans also did well!
Not gonna lie, they had us in the first half.

The way the owl flies is so relaxing... They're all so cute!

Cute? Yeah, really cute deadly killers. Gotta love their murderous efficiency.
@@HughAskew2 humans have killed way more humans than all the owls of animals, so stop it right there.

Do the maths.

Us here in the Pigeon community take your comment very offensive.
Owls are one of the most underrated and yet most fascinating animals I've ever encountered. I use to sit outside and just watch this little great owl fly from tree to tree. Now that I live in the country, I am always hearing different type of owls. Beautiful birds. Very majestic.
I first had an encounter with an owl almost sundown riding my horse on the trail i did not hear it , flew out of the tree and the wing span was the width of the trail naturally we loped behind it and it was like the three of us were one one of the best feelings of my life
They sound creepy though
Animals?
Owl is my fav bird, like it's just so elegant in a way and just so interesting.
@@veen88 are they not?

@@naturefrc3986 hey, Filip Selakovic was joking and I'm sure of that 100% xD Haven't you come across this phrase - "don't assume [one's] gender" - used as a meme throughout the internet? :D
The only time I've ever seen a owl close in person, was late one night when I was letting my dog out to use the bathroom. When it's dark, I take a few extra seconds when I open the door to listen and look for anything unusual before stepping out. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary so I stepped out with my dog, and suddenly these giant grey wings suddenly opened up in the middle my yard and with complete silence, flew out of my yard into the sky. I was so stunned and speechless by how quiet it was. If I wasn't looking in my yard, I would have never noticed it. Owls are so cool.
Dude seriously, don't end the clip so abruptly with this mood breaking funky sound
Ikr it made me so mad
Exactly!

the subject matter is awesome but i must also congratulate the vfx designer or vfx team on that lovely sound wave effect

I live next to a church (of all places) and one evening, around 9pm a huge owl flew over my head, it was like 1m above me and if I didn't look up I would have never known it was there, it was completely silent in his flight! Amazing birds!
They’d be a good group to rob a bank
Pigeon: defence
Falcon: attacker
Owl: stealth
*Rainbow six siege new opperators*

They would be perfect for this indeed
Really? a pigeon as defence
*Eagle* : _REEEEEEE_
"As silent as an owl" please add this to oxford dictionary
Let me get this straight: You comment something that is unrelated to the fact that I have two HEAVENLY HANDSOME girlfriends? Considering that I am the unprettiest RUclipsr ever, having two handsome girlfriends is really incredible. Yet you did not mention that at all. I am quite disappointed, dear mu
@@AxxLAfriku Yes, because nobody cares about your life built solely on your galaxy-sized ego, you buffoon.

Because ya ain't the one being hunted! Lol
@@fantasyhaven3900 yeah who would've thought something calm could be relaxing
As a kid, this video sparked such admiration for owls in me that after 8 years, as an adult now, I got an owl tattoo yesterday. I just wanted to thank the creators of this video for the lasting inspiration.
The owl is the UFO of the bird community.
Or the stealth planes...
@@Wuei108 no
Owls are known to be seen after supposed ufo abductions by many who claim to have come in contact. Not calling myself a believer or that it's true but it's interesting to think a bird as mysterious as this is tied to the extraterrestrial.
@@MichealPiksRice2 Yes, now that you mention that I remember seeing a video where the person had hypnotherapy and kept seeing the image of an owl. Upon more digging the person realized that the image of the owl was supposedly “planted” and it was really a grey alien. I am a believer but try to look for the solid cases by credible witnesses. Some of the stories told by some can come across as fantastical. I believe there is truth to some of the cases however and hopefully sometime this month the Pentagon disclosure will shed some light-but it may be wishful thinking.
I'd like to think of it more as the stealth fighter in the bird community. With the falcon being a more attack/direct joint fighter. And the pigeon is the investment banker lol.... People dont know how they can hold themselves up in the air they're so fat (with greed lol) The hummingbird is definitely the drone/helicopter of the bird community.

Nice coincidence, I'm watching it at 2:40 AM 😅
I'm 'not' addicted
Coincidence.. I'm watching at 1:50 am
Pigeon: Graceless flapping
Peregrine: Don't need to be quiet when you're fast
Own: Demonic screech - silence - you're dead - more demonic screeching
😂😂😂
I'm hoping you meant graceful for pigeons lol
Pigeons try their best! :(
@Get on the cross and don’t look back
That is not what the Bible says. YOU repent, get saved.
Pigeons are loud flyers because they're social animals, their wings are designed to alert others if one spots a predator. They can also use their wings offensively too, there are videos of pigeons slapping others with their wings.
Owls are so amazing. The slow motion combined with the silence made it look magical ❤️🤗
Owl: *REEEEE* [silence] *REEEEEE*
If you like silence...never look at something like this:

Because the old wizarding world are slave drivers. House elves, owls. With all that magic they don't need any owls, but chooses to do so.
@@bigboldbicycle -_-
Why would they need to have owls though. I mean they're cute but
@@epicfromepicgames8222 Because muggles I think,it would be weird to see a letter flying
Owls have been used as inspiration to make wind turbines more quiet. The small feathers at the trailing edge of their wings absorb the sound. In wind turbines this is sometimes mimicked by a sawtooth-pattern on the trailing-edge of the blade. It's designed to smoothly mix the air from both sides of the blade, reducing the amount of sound generated.
Awesome!
I learned something new
Induction motor also...hehe
Bio-mimicry in its finest.
Very cool.
The quality difference between youtubers' documentaries and proffessional ones is huge.
This is soo masterfully directed & edited, I'm speechless.

I remember once when I was in elementary school, someone from a wildlife sanctuary visited and brought some animals with her -- one was a big white owl. I remember her telling us how they flew silently, and then she demonstrated it by tickling the owl a little bit on its stomach until it flapped its wings. Dead silence. That was more than 40 years ago, and I still remember how impressed I was and how beautiful that owl was. Raptors are stunning creatures.
Oh, Hedwig.
Eyyy Trap Music NOW. 😂🔥❤️
But Hedwig is a snowy
Bernardas
... a female Snowy Owl ... you can tell because the females have the black spots, whilst males are pure white. Also, females are a bit bigger than males, which is unusual for both birds in general, and owls in particular ...

Paul McGann has such an incredible voice for a narrator and radio. Shame he doesn’t get more documentary type work like this. Could listen to him all day.

3:25 The owl's feathers are what allows them to fly so silently, so cool to watch.
Imagine how scared the mouse feels without hearing a warning😰
It just dies
Mouse got heart attack at same time...
They never see it coming so no fear
Hahahahahahah why did I laugh so hard at this an imagine the mic being picked off in one of them horror movies 😂
Having no noise will be less scary, if you hear a noise that you know is going to put you in danger thatd be more scary, for me anyway
less flap more glide...
flappy bird update is needed
No. Look again. That owl still flapping. But not very intense like pigeon or that little falcon
If you take a closer look owls have sound dampening feathers
Yep! And they dont need to fly fast to hunt, most of preys are on the ground so they simply jumps and glide down to its prey.
Dzulfiqar Bagas Tito if you look closely at the comment it states less flap not no flap so don’t jump to conclusions and yes owls glide more than they do flap their wings that’s why they generate less sound
The irony of using the feathers when testing with the birds
I know 🥺
I felt that
Those are downy feathers, they probably were molted off by a fledgling (hatchling? one of the two)
@@Enneamorph or three, they killed a lot of birds
thats not irony. Is coincidence. Most people don't know the difference between those words.
I don't know why, but tears fall down...mybe i'm too sensitive..
“If silence were loudness they would be the loudest flying bird... that’s a terrible metaphor.”
Thats not a metafor thats an antifor
