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.
