BARN OWL
- This ghostly bird lives in deserted buildings and hollow trees
- Usually comes out only at night.
- They can see extremely well in the dark, and their hearing enables them to hunt and strike prey by sound alone.
- Their soft, downy feathers enable them to fly in near silence, making them fearsome and virtually undetectable predators.
- Owls do not digest fur and bone but periodically rid themselves of these in the form of regurgitated pellets. If you pull apart one of these pellets you may find tiny mouse skulls and other bones.
- They live almost everywhere. The only places you don’t find barn owls are in desert or polar regions.
