Not So Common Sound

I almost forgot to share my Common Barn Owl experience. These owls hiss very loudly when they feel threatened. The sound freaks me out a little because it is so loud. At CRC there are four of them in an enclosure that's on my list to clean and change water on Sundays. I start to chuckle a little when I first hear them but then I just get scared and get out of there, so they're doing a good job.

Here's a video from YouTube, make sure to turn your volume up nice and loud: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akwc82DOb4k
