Abstract
Otus angelinae is an owl that known for their silent flight, capable of flying just inches from their prey without being detected. The quietness of their flight is owed to their special feathers. This study aimed to describe the morphology and function of feathers of Otus angelinae. Two Otus angelinae aged 4 months taken from the wild forest of East Java. Owl were sedated with chloroform, dissected, and then observed to know the morphological of feathers that coat its body. The results showed that each part of the body of an owl composed of different morphology and size of feathers to support the activity of flying.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Animal Behaviour and Biometeorology (ISSN 2318-1265) is the official journal of the Center for Applied Animal Biometeorology (Brazil) currently published by Malque Publishing. Our journal is published quarterly, where the published articles are inserted into areas of animal behaviour, animal biometeorology, animal welfare, and ambience: farm animals (mammals, birds, fish, and bees), wildlife (mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians), pets, animals in zoos and invertebrate animals. The publication is exclusively digital and articles are freely available to the international community. Manuscript submission implies that the data are unpublished and have not been submitted for publication in other journals. JABB publishes original articles in the form of Original Articles, Short Communications, and Reviews. Original Articles arising from research work should be well grounded in theory and execution should follow the scientific methodology and justification for its objectives; Short Communications should provide sufficient results for a publication in accordance with the Research Article; Reviews should involve the relevant scientific literature on the subject. JABB publishes articles in English only. All articles should be written strictly adopting all the rules of spelling and grammar.
