An owl moves by internal muscles pulling on bones, just like humans and all other vertebrates. Birds have modified arms to allow them to fly. An owl has special adaptations to fly silently and strongly. Owls can also walk, but prefer to fly or perch due to their long, sharp, curved talons getting in the way while walking on the ground.
