An owl moves by internal muscles pulling on bones, just like humans and all other vertebrates. Birds have modified arms to allow them to fly. An owl has special adaptations to fly silently and strongly. Owls can also walk, but prefer to fly or perch due to their long, sharp, curved talons getting in the way while walking on the ground.

∙ 13y agoOwls fly the same like normal birds do, they use their muscles in their wings and flap. The wind under and on top make the bird light so that the bird can lift off the ground. They also have special feathers to help them catch their prey by surprise.
