    No, owls do not hibernate.

    Owls are active year-round and do not enter hibernation during winter. Instead, they adapt to colder temperatures by growing thicker feathers to insulate themselves and conserving energy. Owls are well-equipped to survive harsh conditions because they continue hunting throughout the winter months. Their excellent night vision, sharp talons, and silent flight allow them to catch prey even in snow-covered environments.

    In fact, for some owl species, winter can be a prime hunting season, as their prey, such as rodents, may be more easily spotted on the snow. Rather than hibernate, owls stay active, hunting and surviving through cold weather.
