    Yeah I was thinking that would be the other big one. It’s either ‘I’m down to fuck’ or throws gang signs. With the occasional ‘Prepare to sortie we’ve got an unidentified threat in our airspace!!’

      The fighting is one of the big reasons people aren’t supposed to play bird calls to lure them in.

      I know the owls can identify each other’s calls and know who is an actual threat or not, so when someone comes in playing a new bird’s call, they go into panic mode. It makes them waste precious energy and takes them away from their hunting and actual territory guarding.

      Most owls generally hate other owls and only get together to have babies. They’ll share territory with a mate, but they don’t typically hang out together unless they have to.
