Barn Owl Hand Puppet - Hansa Creation

In puppet play, the barn owl hand puppet by Hansa Creation can quickly become part of small stories. It is well suited to storytelling, puppet theatre and imaginative role play. New ideas often develop naturally during play.

The barn owl (Tyto alba) is found on every continent except Antarctica, making it one of the most widespread bird species. Its heart-shaped facial disc functions like a parabolic dish, channelling sound waves to asymmetrically positioned ears. It hunts entirely by hearing and can catch mice in total darkness. Its flight is virtually silent thanks to velvety plumage.

Did you know that the barn owl's two ears are positioned at different heights? The right ear points upward, the left downward — enabling three-dimensional sound location and prey targeting accurate to the millimetre.
