| + | Glimfeather is a curious, friendly Owl who helps [[Jill Pole|Jill]] and [[Eustace Clarence Scrubb|Eustace]] when they arrive in Narnia. His speech, full of words that rhyme with the "whoo" sound that owls make, is punctuated with Owl-y "tu-whoos" and is intended to create a comic effect. But Glimfeather is not just a comic figure; he instantly believes [[Jill Pole|Jill]]'s claim that they were sent by [[Aslan]], and warns them to keep their quest secret so that they will not be hindered by [[Caspian]]'s law. Though his mind is slightly dazed during the daylight hours, at night Glimfeather is able to make sound plans and convince others to help him carry them out. It is his idea to enlist [[Puddleglum]]'s help for the mission. Glimfeather appears to be a somewhat well-known person, as [[Trumpkin]] greets him by name and he acts as a spokesman among the Owls. | ||

*"You see, most of the creatures in Narnia have such unnatural habits. They do things by day, in broad blazing sunlight (ugh!) when everyone ought to be asleep. And, as a result, at night they're so blind and stupid that you can't get a word out of them. So we owls have got into the habit of meeting at sensible hours, on our own, when we want to talk about things." (SC, Ch. 4) | *"You see, most of the creatures in Narnia have such unnatural habits.
