Barn owls live from five to seven years. Barn owls look so strange that people used to think they were feathered flying monkeys. I think the barn owl likes to live in the barns in South America. The barn owl lives all through South America and Australia, most of Europe, Africa and the United States. The barn owl lives in barns, fields, parks, and old buildings in warm, wet, and cool environments.
Barn owls eat mainly rats and mice.
To hunt, a barn owl usually flies close to the ground with silent wings. If it sees prey it will spread its talons and strike. Barn owls eat about three rats or mice a day. After, owls cough up things like bones and parts of their prey they can't digest. These are called pellets.
