Snowy owls watch over the Frozen Coast from the clifftops, and they stay up late to see the northern lights dance across the Aurora Sky.
Laying her egg: “Whooo goes there?”
Once it's laid: “Hoot hoot!”
A baby's first words: “Hoo-ray!”
The six Snowy Owl babies
Every species in Perfect Crack has six Hatchery Babies: the everyday baby you meet first, four rare colours (Frost, Shadow, Golden and Rainbow, from sparkly and Rainbow eggs) and the Champion, won from the Champion egg in your scored Daily Challenge. Once freed, they live in your Frozen Coast habitat for good. In the game, tap a baby in its habitat on three different days to become friends and hear its secret.
Babies you haven't found in the game yet are hidden. Tap one to peek, or .

Snowball
Snowy Owl · Common
Sleepy
Favourite activity: Dozing all day in the igloo
Snowball dozes all day in the igloo, a fluffy white ball you could easily mistake for a pile of snow. He wakes at dusk, blinks his big yellow eyes, stretches, and then usually goes back to sleep for another hour.
“Nocturnal in theory. Asleep in practice.”
Secret: He's awake far more often than anyone thinks, and he sees everything from the igloo.

Flake
Frost Snowy Owl · Uncommon · Carries the mark of the Great Frost
Shy
Favourite activity: Watching from the snowman's hat
Flake perches on the snowman's hat, where she can see everything without anyone looking at her. Her frosty feathers blend in so well that most babies never notice her. If you do spot her, she'll give a tiny, surprised 'hoo?'
“Tiny, watchful and nearly invisible. She has found my spectacles more than once.”
Secret: She knows where everyone in the habitat is at all times.
✓
Moony
Shadow Snowy Owl · Rare · Carries the mark of the Great Eclipse
Curious
Favourite activity: Counting the stars at night
Moony stays up all night counting stars. His dark feathers carry the mark of the Great Eclipse, and he says the night sky is the most interesting thing in the Five Kingdoms. So far he has counted to four thousand and twelve.
“An astronomer in training. Do not interrupt the counting.”
Secret: He has found a star nobody has named, and he's saving the name for a friend.

Hoot
Golden Snowy Owl · Super rare · Carries the mark of the Golden Dawn
Friendly
Favourite activity: Hooting goodnight to everyone
Hoot hoots goodnight to every baby in the habitat, one by one, every single evening. If anyone is missing, he flies round until he finds them. His golden feathers glow softly in the dark like a lamp.
“The Frozen Coast's night-light. Nobody goes to sleep unhooted.”
Secret: He has a different goodnight hoot for every baby.
✓
Aurora
Rainbow Snowy Owl · Ultra rare · Carries the mark of the Great Rainbow
Brave
Favourite activity: Flying through the northern lights
Aurora carries the mark of the Great Rainbow, and she has never been scared of anything since the day you freed her. While other owlets hide from blizzards, she flies straight into them to see what's on the other side. On clear nights she soars through the northern lights.
“Brave, bright and impossible to keep in one place.”
Secret: She's trying to fly high enough to touch the northern lights.

Whoo
Champion Snowy Owl · Champion · Won at the Hatchery Show
Mischievous
Favourite activity: Spinning her head right round
Whoo can turn her head right round, and she uses this talent mostly for mischief. She sits with her back to you, then spins her head to stare at you when you least expect it. It works every time, and she finds it hilarious.
“A Champion who has perfected the surprise stare.”
Secret: She's practising a double spin, and she's very nearly there.
Did you know? Unlike most owls, snowy owls often hunt in daylight, because the Arctic summer has almost no night.
