Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Barn Owls

Why do barn owls frequently nest inside farm granaries and barns?
Wooden farm structures offer warm shelter from rainfall, protection from larger predators, and elevated perches near fields where small rodents forage.
What do barn owls eat in agricultural areas?
They feed primarily on small field mice, voles, and shrews, making them valuable pest controllers for farmers storing grain.
Can a barn owl turn its head all the way around?
A barn owl can rotate its head up to 270 degrees due to extra neck vertebrae and flexible blood vessels, compensating for fixed eyes that cannot rotate in their sockets.
