Now, I KNOW that you meant to type "hovering" but I just can't keep the
picture out of my head of an owl "Hoovering" (Just in case Hoover isn't
in Germany, it is a brand name of a vacuum cleaner.)

Oh my, that Hoover is a little large for the owl. (See how it has to fly
in order to maneuver the machine?) Rather than shrink the Hoover, I'll
enlarge the owl:
