Fiona the Owl

This is the story of Fiona - one of the wisest of owls in the Land of Terra. Fiona makes her home in the hollowed remains of a great tree, sleeping most days and joining Amadeus in song most nights. Her call - hoo, hoo, hoo-hoo; hoo, hoo; hoo, hoo-aw - adds a nice rhythm to the musical night air. Fiona also hunts for food as the day drifts into night, preferring small birds, rodents, frogs, and the occasional crayfish. One day, Fiona will find a mate and the two will raise their young in the comfort of the same tree.

You might think that it is best to remove dead trees from Terra Forest, but this is not the case. Many birds find insects in dead trees and make their homes in the hollows of the same trees. To take down a dead tree might mean that a bird or a chipmunk will lose her home. Fiona is quite comfortable in her woodland home and when it is gone, she will have to find another for herself and her owlets. Perhaps it is best to let Terra Forest take care of her own dead trees.
