@ Night Owl "Here's a good proverb, Spearmint!" remarked Maeve. "Speech is silver; silence is golden. It's true, isn't it?" "I'm going to have that Tremeloes hit going round in my head for the rest of the day now!" groaned Spearmint. Night Owl The tawny owl or brown owl (Strix aluco) is a stocky, medium-sized owl commonly found in woodlands across much of Europe, Asia and North Africa. Shakespeare used the tawny owl's song in Love's Labour's Lost (Act 5, Scene 2) as Then nightly sings the staring owl, Tu-whit; Tu-who, a merry note, While greasy Joan doth keel the pot, but this stereotypical call is actually a duet, with the female making the kew-wick sound, and the male responding hooo.

Its value is estimated to be in seven figures.' " "You know what, PetPet? I'm going to buy myself a metal detector when we get back!"

@ Irish Setter "Pure gold must be very crunchy, Uni!" "Why's that, Maeve?" "Because it's made of 24 carrots!" Uni waited for her to stop writhing with laughter. "In actual fact, 24 carat gold is very soft and malleable, which is why it isn't used to make jewellery." Irish Setter If you want a beautiful, good-natured pet that will be friendly with other animals, the Irish Setter may be for you!

@ Golden Lion Tamarin “What country produces the most gold in the world, Maeve?” asked PufFy idly. "According to this chart, it's China, followed by Russia, then Australia and North America," replied Maeve.

Sadly, their habitats in Brazil's Atlantic coastal rainforests are disappearing due to ever-expanding logging, agriculture, and industry.

@ Owl Be Watchin' You "This is an extremely varied set of exhibits, Maeve!" remarked Munich. "We're going from really cosy pictures of pets to amazing scenic landscapes!" Owl Be Watchin' You Did you know that the color of an owl's eyes can help identify its species and what time of day it prefers to hunt? Owls with black eyes are nocturnal. The black color helps them to camouflage in the darkness. Owls with yellow eyes are diurnal, which means they prefer to hunt in the daytime and sleep at night. And owls with orange eyes are crepuscular, meaning they’re active during low light periods such as dusk and dawn, and prefer hunting for their meal during those times of the day.
