Way to hard for me but I'm a huge fan none the less.  The title screen with the owl and that song are worthy of immortality.

The game definitely has a steep learning curve.

Best is to hold space to swoop, and use the left and right arrow keys to turn. Takes a bit of getting used to, but feels awesome when you get it.

Yeah, I've got the hang of it a little more now. I think the main thing was that I was expecting that I should be able to get nearly every bird.

I button-smashed space first, which is so not working, along mellow swoop through the pests and around lamp posts...that's the way of owling!
