CHAWS
Chaws are groups led by a ryb (teacher) in the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. They are like classes, and each owl is chosen for a certain class. There are a number of chaws, which are-
Colliering/Weather Interpretation Chaw- Led by a ryb and one assistant. This is a double chaw. Colliering is learning how to dive into hot forest fires to fish out coals for the smith back at the Tree, while weather interpretation is learning how to fly in the most extreme weather.
Navigation Chaw- Led by one ryb who teaches the chaw how to interpret constellations to find their way by the stars, and what they mean.
Search-and-Rescue Chaw- These owls, led by one ryb, go out into the night to find orphaned, abandoned or stranded chicks, and bring them back to the Great Tree for nursing and raising. This chaw often works alongside the Tracking Chaw.
Tracking Chaw- Owls most accustomed to being on the ground such as Burrowing owls are often picked for this chaw. They help out the search-and-rescue chaw by tracking owlets. They also do burrowing work in the Great Tree.
Ga'Hoolology Chaw- Often considered the most boring of the chaws, this chaw learns about the Great Tree, read and write about it, and care for the Tree.
Metals Chaw- Taught by the Ga'Hoolian blacksmith, this group learns how to form battle claws and other metal objects, and, basically, learn to be blacksmiths.
