[QUOTE="Bonedagger, post: 245450, member: 2564"] [b]Re: D20 Owls[/b] Actually it is a defence against the owls natural enemie.. Big snakes. The owls special defence is activated instinctively whenever it becomes pinned. The result is often a lockdown between the snake and the owl. The snake can't swallow the owl but refuses to let go. Such a situation can last several days. Research show, however, that the position of the owls head can have an effect on the outcome. It also explains why the owls often try to get into a position where their heads turn away from the snake. A sign of spring down south is often the spotting of flying featherballs. It is at this time when many young hatchling snakes will go out and try to hunt owls for their first time. Unfortunately the young snakes are not big enough to hold on to the owls. Since the owls uses a natural gas they produce to blow themself into a featherball, it also means that they will drift away without anything to hold them down. This is when the perfomer at the fair knows it is time. Soon the snakes will have reached the right size. That is when they are strong enough to hold on to the owls but not heavy enough to hold them down. The perfomer will now collect "featherballs" with the right size of snakes. He will then sell them to the children visiting the fair for 1 copperpiece per featherball. A child holding a featherball down by grasping the snakes tail is a sign of joy and celebration in many southern communities. -Bonedagger [/QUOTE]
