Dad was always anxious his kids might consume anything worse than jelly bugs or chocolate crickets. "When I look at your pupils, I harbor... certain suspicions", he growled ominously. Owlexander and Owliver, however, had absolutely lo idea what Dad was talking about. It seemed best to remain silent.

Molt was that time of year when things became a bit embarrassing. No matter how much you'd spent on your feather suit, it eventually became shabby, and you lost all your expensive feathers so that your downy underwear became all too visible. For Mom and Dad, this state was almost unbearable.

"Eat your cricket, that's a good girl", Mom cooed. "Don't forget the antennae, they are full of vitamin A. If you don't finish them, the sun won't shine tomorrow." Mo-o-om, thought Powla. The sun shines all the time, that's part of our desert's problem. And I HATE Crickets. Worse than stink bugs!

Oh how Owlizabeth loathed that cheesy family stuff. "Be nice to your little brothers and sisters." "You're the oldest, you must take responsibility." "The small ones depend on you." " You must be so proud of your cute little siblings." No, she wasn't, thank you very much. And she HATED family pics.

Early morning exercises: 1) Turn your head around, flex your neck muscles, brush your beak. 2) Move your head from side to side. Repeat 60 times. 3) Have a good yawn and stretch - it's good for really waking up. 4) Waking up? No way. Stop bothering me, I'll go back to my Burrow bed.

Jessicowl and Nicowlas were proud of their little Christmas garden. From there, they sent Season's Greetings to friends and relations. The only thing missing were fairy lights. When Nick expressed his wish for a few candles, Jess pointed out they were supposed to be nocturnal, and fond of the dark.

Christmas decoration was somehow about fir trees, holly&ivy. Jessicowl's and Nicowlas' garden sported the typical desert mix of dust ("15 different brands of sand", Nick claimed) and undefinable shrubbery.Working on their patch, Jess and Nick still did their best to create something vaguely festive.

Jessicowl was not the brightest Owlette in Burrowland, at least to Nicowlas' mind. She had asked him three minutes ago whether the coast was clear. What coast?, he thought. We live in the desert, the coast is miles&miles away. Really, Jess, he thought - how can anyowl be so stupid?

Powla was shooting a commercial for Krocker's Fabulous Crickets (KFC). The challenge was to nonchalantly munch a beakful of cricket wings while winking at the camera. Plus showing off shapely legs. Stark but manageable, if only Powla didn't detest Krocker's crickets.To her, they tasted like sawdust.

He's shameless. And proud of it.

After their usual Wednesday morning altercation, Jessicowl and Nicowlas didn't have much left to say to each other. Nick found he was rather tired of fighting. And the longer he thought things through, the longer he wondered what their latest fight had been about. Or all the fights before that.

Mr Bone-Saw would surely be delighted to pay six figures and have his portrait tastelessly framed in gold. Even without a suit.

There are 2 ways of observation: the offensive approach (be blatantly visible, let them know they're being watched) and the stealthy way (hide in your Burrow, listen closely, collect data in secret).As Nicowlas and Jennifowl couldn't agree on the best course of action, they tried both simultanously.

Sometimes Owlgernon wondered what it was Owliver used to consume in his favourite club. "It's all strictly legal", Owliver slurred, before breaking into a hopeless giggle. Owlgy couldn't help noticing that the unknown substance not only dilated Owliver's pupils but also had his nostrils flaring.

Man kann jedes Buch zusammenfassen, Inhaltsangaben zu lesen ist nicht schlimm, solange man nicht der Vorstellung erliegt, damit die "Essenz" eines Buches zu erfassen.
Aber warum "mit Hilfe von KI"? Können Menschen das nicht mehr leisten? Oder glaubt jemand, eine Zusammenfassung durch KI sei besser?

Some humans are afraid of Owls. They believe Owls are, in fact, ghosts/evil spirits/more nightmarish than their old headteacher/all of the above. Their nocturnal lifestyle (Owlets enjoy nightclubbing) adds to the picture. But, als Owlex and Owlga point out:Owls are NOT vampires.They DO cast shadows!

Owlga was posing for a new passport photo, staring straight ahead as impassively as possible. Little die she know the passport office would reject the picture: "Your left ear needs to be visible, ma'am."

Die Jobcenter stellen also sehr viele Ärzte und Psychologen ein, die das fachkundig bewerten können und zudem bereit sind, die Diagnosen ihrer Kollegen in die Tonne zu treten?
Viel Spaß bei der Personalsuche.

Owlexander had planted a flag at the entrance of his Burrow to make clear once and for all who it belonged to. He would have preferred a different color but the somewhat girlish pink was all that was available at the Owl Flag Store.
