I learned something new today! I went to a local falconry display and was told that owls are not intelligent but lazy birds. They have an amazing range for seeing their prey - 4-5 miles away! WOW! They also cannot see close up due to having 'fixed' eyesight. They can turn their heads almost 360 degrees. This particular owl that we saw today, had a HUGE wingspan of almost 4 feet!
So, I wonder where does the 'Wise Old Owl' saying comes from?

There you go you see ... you learn something new every day ... and so did I! Thanks for sharing!
I guess, perhaps wise in knowing yourself and your abilities and in using them appropriately to your best advantage without trying to be anything you're not? I wish I was that wise! I'd save a lot of energy fruitlessly expended! Great piece of info and, as you can see, thought-provoking ...
