The term 'OWL'S CRY' is composed of three words: HOOT (4 letters), WHO (3 letters), and SCREAK (6 letters). Owls are nocturnal birds of prey that are known for their distinctive calls. The most common call is a HOOT, which is a low-pitched sound made by male owls to mark their territory. Female owls also make a similar sound, but it is higher pitched and is referred to as a who. Owls also make a loud screech, which is a high-pitched sound used to scare away predators or to communicate with other owls.
