Comment on Can someone fact check this
Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 1 day agoSo 20 miles per hour across 24 hours gets us a distance of 480 miles.
Going from Europe to the Americas by way of Scotland and Iceland is going to be a bit of a problem for that bird, as it can expect pretty consistent 10-20kt headwinds for the entire journey. America to Europe by that route is a comparatively easy trip.
I doubt that owls are capable of effective dynamic soaring, but that would drastically reduce the energy requirements.

Owls are librulz, they only want to escape the us, not return
