About Barn Owl
How good is a Barn Owl's hearing?
Barn Owls have the most sensitive hearing of any animal tested. Their asymmetrically placed ears allow them to pinpoint a mouse's location within 1.5 degrees in complete darkness, making them incredibly efficient nighttime hunters.
What do Barn Owls eat?
Barn Owls primarily eat small mammals like mice, rats, voles, and shrews. A single Barn Owl family can consume over 3,000 rodents per year, making them valuable natural pest controllers for farmers.
Where do Barn Owls nest?
Barn Owls nest in hollow trees, cliffs, caves, and human-made structures like barns, church towers, and nest boxes. They don't build nests but lay eggs directly on accumulated pellets and debris.
How do Barn Owls fly so silently?
Barn Owls have specialized feathers with soft fringes that break up air turbulence and muffle sound. Their flight feathers have a velvety surface that eliminates the whooshing noise made by other birds' wings.
How big are Barn Owls?
Barn Owls measure 13 to 15 inches tall with wingspans of 31 to 37 inches. Despite their large appearance, they weigh only 14 to 25 ounces due to their lightweight, hollow bones.
How long do Barn Owls live?
Wild Barn Owls typically live 4 to 10 years, though some have reached 15 years. Their lifespan depends on food availability, weather conditions, and threats like vehicle collisions and habitat loss.
