How Do Owls Fly So Silently?

Owls can approach their prey with remarkably little sound, but their quiet flight is not caused by one adaptation alone. Their broad wings allow them to fly slowly, comb-like serrations break up incoming airflow, soft feather surfaces damp tiny vibrations, and fringed trailing edges reduce turbulence as air leaves the wing. Together, these adaptations help owls avoid alerting their prey while preserving their ability to hear faint movements below.
