That is why I chose the barn owl. There are ten different kinds of barn owls and 140 other owls. Owls and barn owls have a lot of superstitions connected with them. Owls were thought to be creatures of death, witches, or devils in disguise, because people thought they heard an owl hoot every time a lord or rich man died. If you saw an owl hooting, you would have to change your name or you might die.
Barn owls get their name from where they live.
A nickname for it is the Monkey-faced owl or the Ghost owl. Another name for the baby owls, like all birds, is chicks. Barn owls look pretty weird to me. Barn owls are brown all over their backs and tops of wings. Their head, belly, legs, and underparts are white.
