Did you know that owls can see even in the daylight?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

From the youngest to the oldest festival-goers, visitors gathered in large numbers to meet Scar<\/strong>, the owl and Braco<\/strong>, the Harris\u2019s hawk, and to discover fascinating facts about these remarkable birds of prey at first hand.<\/p>\n\n

Falconer Emilio Men\u0111u\u0161i\u0107 <\/strong>from the \u0160ibenik Falconry Centre<\/strong> revealed that owls have two ears positioned at different heights, a feature that allows them to locate prey with extraordinary precision – even underneath the snow. Visitors also learned that owls can still see in the daylight, and were particularly delighted by a demonstration showing that, thanks to a special protective layer, their feathers absorb almost no water. The bravest among them had the chance to hand-feed the hawk Braco without a protective glove.<\/p>\n\n

Alongside a wealth of fascinating facts, the time spent with Scar and Braco left a lasting impression on many visitors, with the youngest knowledge-seekers having their photos taken with these magnificent birds.<\/p>\n
