Lots of raptors do as well. It makes their feet efficient and prevents them from dropping their prey while in flight.

That owl seems calm for having her ear groped!

Some owls do not mind being touched. I do not advocate having them as pets, but if they are rescued early in life and cannot fly, they may be calm enough to handle.

Not really echolocation since there is no rebounding of sound. It's just really sensitive hearing.

I am profoundly deaf in my left ear. I can't tell where sounds as re coming from.

You only have one source coming in. For those of us with 2 sources, it's like playing a song that was recorded in stereo through a radio with only monophonic capabilities.

So. Are our mating preferences making as less efficient listeners?
-
Not necessarily. Our partner's lowered standards are doing that.
