==== Beak ==== The beak of the owl is short, curved, and downward-facing, and typically hooked at the tip for gripping and tearing its prey. Once prey is captured, the scissor motion of the top and lower bill is used to tear the tissue and kill. The sharp lower edge of the upper bill works in coordination with the sharp upper edge of the lower bill to deliver this motion. The downward-facing beak allows the owl's field of vision to be clear, as well as directing sound into the ears without deflecting sound waves away from the face.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Shamim1410|date=2020-04-22|title=Owl Bird Traits, Adaptations and Surprising Facts|url=https://www.birdbaron.com/owl-bird/|access-date=2022-02-04|website=Bird Baron|language=en-US}}</ref>
