In fact, the birds in the order Xiāo are all called owls, commonly known as owls because their images are very similar to cats. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 200 kinds of owls in the world. There is a very special kind of owl, which was recently recorded in Wuhan.

Observing their surroundings, they speculated that the owl might have crashed into the glass wall of the office building and fallen, creating a stress response. In order to prevent secondary damage to it and prevent it from hitting the wall again, the two first covered it with clothes and then observed. Subsequently, the two noticed that the owl had a distinct eye-like feather behind its head, commonly known as the "false eye", which was the most prominent symbol of the collared ibis.
