You left out titmouse from the bird rankings. And how did owl evade the upper rungs?

my bad. I've never heard of a titmouse, and owl never crossed my mind. the system could do with an extra rank or two anyway so maybe that could be put in before the final moments

 

[tamarin]

Great owl idea! Fly with it, sir!

 

[tamarin]

Hmmmmm...and the first shall be last. We're getting biblical.
But I think birds do make for a neat ladder here.

I think andem misunderstood you. I think he thought you were asking why some systems were left out, whereas you were suggesting the inclusion of extra ranks in one of the systems here. correct me if i'm wrong andem

Can always amend the list later. But, that's a good thought. Owls are extremely good predators.

 

[selfactivated]

Owls are called the Night Eagle and are VERY sacred animals.

 

[hermanntrude]

silent death from above. would we just have a generic owl or a specific species?

 

[L Gilbert]

All animals are valuable, IMO.

Well that would depend on where in the list you want to put it, Pygmy owls are the smallest and the Great Horned owl is the largest. The average sized owl is probably about Barn owl sized: slightly bigger than a Red-tailed hawk.

except earwigs and craneflies

 

[selfactivated]

Theres Barrel, horned , snowy, barn. midget...........theres more

 

[hermanntrude]

yes there are hundreds of species i'm sure. I know there are three that live in england but i don't know the canadian species. maybe we should just go for a big'un, like the eagle owl

 

[L Gilbert]

except earwigs and craneflies

Earwigs are spiderfodder and crane flies are good for swallows, bats, etc.

 

[hermanntrude]

they still hold no value and should be killed on sight, IMHO

How about the "Great Horned Owl".
