How do snowy owls interact with non-living things?

They Interact By the Snowy owls using sight, sound and touch to communicate and understand their environment. Males often "hoot" to defend their territory. They also make many other calls, including a "rick, rick, rick", a "kre kre kre", a mewing and a hiss. These calls are often used by an adult that is defending a nest.
