Owls have sharp talons (not claws!) and a sharp beak, so it would look pretty silly if you saw an owl eating a salad. They are carnivores, too. Owls have keen eyesight and hearing. They have the advantage of very silent flight, so mice and other rodents who have good hearing cannot hear the predator about to eat it as a midnight snack!

Owls eat small mammals. They really like mice and rats hunting them in the early evening. Since they are a bird of prey they have talons to catch their prey.
