Have these people nothing to do
Except investigate the obvious
Costing thousands of pounds!
But no, they go their costly way!
This time discovering why owls
Can fly in silence.
All they need to do was ask
Any birdwatcher, even me.
I have known practically all my life
That owls fly silently
Because their feathers are so soft
They don’t disturb the air.
Can I be paid for this?

- Comment from author about the poem: Apparently scientists have been examining why owls can fly silently and they have discovered something that I have known for almost sixty years, as any self-respecting bird watcher would. The softness of owls feathers do not disturb the air so they can fly upon their prey in absolute silence.

Well thankfully you're not their prey. Well penned Andy. 👍
Thanks AP, much appreciated.

🤣 I thought it was because they had batteries included? But then one would have to research why their feathers are so soft? Do they use lenor? 🤣 And if their feathers are.so soft makes them silent, who scratches their heads when they get itchy? 🤣 But yes I'll give you one million pounds. 🌹
hey probably use their claws to scratch Teddy but that is another project for someone so when I receive the million pounds I shall look into it. 😂🤣🌹

Good write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
How are the widows and orphans going?
Owl's feathers may not disturb the air, but this information certainly disturbed me, Andy.
I shall view your answers to Teddy's questions with a rare intensity in order to stabilise and return to a world I know and understand......
Sorry for the disturbance Dave but some of these so called experts don't see the flaming obvious.
