The barn owl is a nocturnal bird found on every continent except Antarctica.

The barn owl is one of the most widely distributed birds in the world, except for polar and desert regions.Nevertheless, barn owl populations are more dominant in the southern hemisphere due to better climatic conditions for barn owls.

Barn owls are generally 25 to 40 cm tall, and adult barn owls can have a wingspan of up to 110 cm. However, the wingspan of a barn owl depends on the species of barn owl, so some owls may be smaller. While other species of barn owls may be larger.

Surprisingly, these common barn owls do not make the siren sound often heard at night. Instead, the owls make a shrill screeching sound. Barn owls will also make a hissing sound similar to a cat or snake if they feel threatened.

Barn owls are known for their distinctive heart-shaped faces and beautiful plumage. During the day, barn owls remain hidden in quiet places and they only hunt at night. Barn owls are most commonly found in open country, riverbanks, fields and even roadside fringes.

Barn owls are nocturnal animals. This means that usually barn owls rest during the day and emerge at dusk to begin a night of hunting.

Barn owls usually prey on small mammals, such as mice. However, barn owls also prey on fish and small birds near the surface of the water. Barn owls swallow their prey whole and then spit back the indigestible parts, such as bones, in the form of small pellets.

The barn owl is well suited for nocturnal life. The barn owl's large eyes give it fantastic vision even at night, but the barn owl's sense of hearing is also very accurate. The barn owl's ears are set higher on one than the other, giving the barn owl better hearing in general.

But it also means that when a barn owl is looking for prey, it can use one ear to detect noise on the ground and the other to detect noise in the air and trees. During warm spring days, female barn owls lay up to seven eggs. Female barn owls nest in a hollow tree or on a rock. Barn owl eggs usually hatch after about a month.

Male barn owls are known to help feed barn owl chicks, which are able to fly at 12 weeks of age. Although not considered a threatened animal, barn owl populations have been severely reduced over the years due to pollution and habitat loss.

This is because it is becoming increasingly difficult for barn owls to find food in certain areas. However, it is thought that the owl population in the UK is increasing again. More than 30 different species of barn owls have been found in Europe, Africa, Asia, and parts of Australia and the Americas.

All barn owls have a similar appearance, but vary greatly in size and color. Perhaps the same type of owl will look different in different areas. And now that the city is expanding, it is better to keep a lot of natural areas as well, keeping the biodiversity is a necessary development now.
