Eustace and Jill joined a parliament of owls in the middle of the night at the top of an ivy-clad stone tower with arched windows. After the meeting, the owls flew the children to the land of the Marsh-wiggles to meet up with Puddlglum and continue their quest to save Prince Rilian.
"You see," explained Glimfeather, "most of the creatures in Narnia have such unnatural habits. They do things by day, in broad blazing sunlight (ugh!) when everyone ought to be asleep. And, as a result, at night they're so blind and stupid that you can't get a word out of them. So we owls have got into a habit of meeting at sensible hours, on our own, when we want to talk about things."

My oldest granddaughter loves owls. I'll ask her about these.

Owls are magical. This would be a great character spin off.
