That's also why he liked to engage the crowd in what he was doing as much as he could as well. So when a young girl up front answered right away before he could even call upon he chuckled. "That's right!," Colwyn nodded his head as he pointed a finger at the girl. "Owls not only preen themselves but they will preen one another as well if they are comfortable with each other." Dawn seemed watching the children in the crowd but Dusk was using his beak to clean his feathers as the girl had said.

"Not only will they use their beaks to clean themselves but they will also use their talons. The two outside talons are called the 'feather combs' and these help them to clean their heads." Which as if on cue Dusk was now doing. One might come to think that the owl knew exactly what Col was saying and was showing the group or it was an incredible fluke.

Sophie thought Dawn and Dusk were super cute. They seemed so smart too. As Col talked, it seemed as if the owls were listening and began to demonstrate on cue.

She was pleased to have gotten the answer right, although she didn't know about feather combs. Watching Dusk comb the feathers on his head was cute but also a little funny. Sophie giggled and raised her hand to ask another question.

"If I adopt an owl, what should I do to help clean her if she gets really dirty or can't clean herself?"
