Barn owls get to 12 to 18 inches tall. They weigh about one pound. Their wing span is 43 inches. The females are bigger than the males. If food is low, only the oldest chick will be given enough food to survive.
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.
