* ArduousDescentToTerraFirma: There's mention of an owl with a disability that prevents him from flying. His wings are perfectly fine, as you might not expect, but the talons on his feet are unable to grip branches. When you can't land safely, flying becomes a much less enticing activity. Fortunately, the owl invents foot prosthetics that enable him to take his place in the skies.

* EvilVersusEvil: The conflict between St. Aggie's and the Pure Ones can be summed up as this. St. Aggie's is an organization that kidnaps owls, brainwashing them to remove their free will and indoctrinate them. The Pure Ones, meanwhile, are a [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Nazi-esque]] militant group that believes ''Tyto'' owls are inherently superior to all others.



** The Pure Ones are a group of Barn Owls and related ''Tyto'' species who look down on other types of owls. And the Barn Owls even look down on other ''Tytos'', like Sooties and Grass Owls.

* PardonMyKlingon:
** A lot. Notably, "sprink", which is considered the most vile word in the owl vocabulary, frink, an equivalent to piss (the verb, not the bodily fluid), and racdrops, an equivalent to... well, you should be able to tell.

* DisownedParent: ''The Outcast'' begins when the owl previously known as Nyroc rejects the evil family he's from, saying:
-->The egg that held me came from the body of my mother, but I am not my mother's son, nor my father's. ... I have no parents.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: In ''The Outcast'', a big deal is mentioyabkut a wolf with "foaming-mouth disease", presumably rabies. While other wolves certainly need to be concerned about this, there is no concern for owls - such as Coryn or Uglamore - getting it.

* RecycledInSpace: St. Aggie's is quite similar to the residential school system used to oppress indigenous people in Canada, America, and Australia, but with owls. They take chicks from their families, and assimilate them by giving them new names, banning their original culture (Ga'hoolian legends), and preventing them from escaping and returning home. Abuses committed include not giving them proper food(they eat ''crickets'', for Glaux's sake) and physical abuse(the vampire bats sucking out their blood) There's even a connection to the Catholic Church (''St.'' Aggie's), which ran the residential schools, at least in Canada.
