Owl

Owls are particularly stealthy birds; their unique wings let them fly without making a sound, and this ability, combined with their keen senses, makes them especially skilled nocturnal predators. Although solitary hunting is usually the best way to use their abilities, many owls roost in groups to ensure their safety.
