Barred ones sound like they're saying "Who cooks for you?" (4)

I believe the answer is:

owls

(Other definitions for owls that I've seen before include "Slow (anag) -- birds of prey" , "Slow kind of birds" , "Slow sort of birds" , "Nocturnal birds" , "Avian symbols of wisdom" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
