The thin looking plumicorns in this Great Horned Owl make me think of moth antenna.

Do they serve any sensory function the way antenna do? Or are they just decorative?
(They are cool, gotta admit. I love the classic GHO look)
No consensus has been reached. Communication and camouflage are the 2 main theories. I don't buy the camo one myself. I don't think they're big enough to make a difference.
