Characteristic of the Owl

I have started to think about the movement of the Owl ie the wings. I have started to take into consideration the way in which the Owl will operate. The type of movement that the i want for the Owl is a slightly rigid movement, but i don't want it to be realistic.
The main focus on the owl is going to be in the eyes. The characteristic of the owl is doppy and very unintelligent in comparison to the size of its head. Therefore when the Owl blinks it will be heavy, and sometimes slow.
