Owls
The owls are part of the family Strigiformes, which include about 200 birds of prey. Most are solitary, and nocturnal, except for some like the Burrowing owl. Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects and other birds, though some specialize in hunting fish. Owls are found in all regions of the Earth except Antarctica, most of Greenland, and some remote islands. Living owls are divided into two families: the typical owls, (Strigidae) and the barn-owls, (Tytonidae).

Who made a 32 caliber revolver with a owl on it?
American Handgunner, Nov-Dec, 2004 by Mike Cumpston The ornately figured hard rubber grip engraved with the characteristic Owl Head confirmed it an Iver Johnson Hammerless Safety revolver of the third type. The hinged barrel locked solidly into the frame and the cylinder displayed minimal side play and no end-shake. The bore and chambers were perfect. The gun had been fired very little, if at all. It had the good grace to bc chambered for the still-available .38 Smith and Wesson Cartridge--a pocket pistol standard since the late 1870s. COPYRIGHT 2004 Publishers' Development Corporation
