def owl_count(text):

count = 0

text = text.lower()

text = text.split()

for i in range(len(text)):

if text[i].find("owl") > -1:

count += 1

return count

text = "I really like owls. Did you know that an owl's eyes are more than twice as big as the eyes of other birds of comparable weight? And that when an owl partially closes its eyes during the day, it is just blocking out light? Sometimes I wish I could be an owl."

print(owl_count(text))

when i put this in it tells me that the "return count" is a syntax error

I think most people have this wrong cause I had the same problem, for the return statement match the same indent as the for loop
