30. What QWERTYUIOP word states how an owl would view a mouse?

From Quiz QWERTY

Answer: prey

In addition to mice, the favorite prey of owls includes snakes, shrews, small rabbits and other woodland creatures. "Pert", meaning saucy or impudent, comes originally from Latin "apert", open, perhaps indicating that the person has their mouth open to speak when they should not. "Pretty" is from the Old English "praettig", via West Germanic; all these mean "attractive". "Wiry" from the Old English "wir", a thin, strong strand of metal, means "tough and flexible of body". Owls might not mind pert or pretty prey, but they assuredly would not like it to be wiry.
