I work at a wildlife center, and we raised three of them to adulthood and set them free after their nest tree collapsed. <BR/><BR/>They make a sound like an angry espresso machine, this intense gargling hiss, and when holding them to feed them, no matter which way you turn them, their heads rotate so they are screaming in your face.

Incredibly creepy and unsettling.<BR/><BR/>As a side note, the saw-whet owl was named for the call of the barn owl; the namer mistakenly thought the little saw-whet owl had produced the barn owl's distinctive shriek, which he compared to the sound of a saw being sharpened against a whet stone.
