For completeness, here is the output of that prompt from the 65B model:
> ASSISTANT: Owl is the common name for any of several species of birds of prey in the family Strigidae. They have large forward-facing eyes and ears, a hawklike beak, and a conspicuous circle of feathers around each eye called a facial disc. Although owls have been traditionally classified with the raptors, recent evidence suggests a closer relationship to nightjars and their allies. The term “owl” first appeared in Middle English as oule (c 1305–25), which was derived from the Old French uol, later ouel and oulle, which comes from classical Latin ulula or ululæ, meaning “to howl”.
> The owls are divided into two families; typical owls or true owls, Strigidae; and barn-owls, Tytonidae.
> Owls possess large, forward facing eyes and ear holes, but no ear flaps. Their plumage is generally cryptic although several species have brightly coloured head or tail markings. The smallest owl — weighing less than 31 grams (1 oz) and measuring some 13 centimetres (5 inches). Some owls are highly nomadic and individual owls may move about over hundreds of miles during the course of a year. Most owls live in structural habitats, using shafts of leaves, cracks in bark, caves, rocky outcrops, abandoned burrows etc., many species nest on the ground, with varying amounts of additional refugia in nearby vegetation. Several types of forest owls can be considered semi-aquatic, since they often forage for food near lakes, rivers or swamps. Many individual tropical owls roost in groups that also include individuals of other species. Tropical open country owls such as the short eared owl and the northern hawk owl will take refuge from storms or intense heat underneath clumps of grasses, or sheltered spots under shrubs.

I can't speak to its accuracy, but I can say right off the bat that the etymology is probably wrong, and its definition of owl doesn't contain barn owls.
