INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that most owl species are nocturnal and sleep during the day?

Unclear. A general reference states that most owls are nocturnal, and several studies describe individual owl species (barn owls, eagle owls, owl monkeys, Principe Scops-Owl) as nocturnal or night-active. None of the placed sources addresses the second half of the claim, that owls sleep during the day.
