Most barn owls live out of the weather in barns and old empty buildings. Barn owls like to use camouflage. A barn owl will fold one wing over its face and pretend to be a dead limb. If captured, it plays possum until given a chance to escape. Then it flies off.
People are the barn owls' biggest enemies.
Farmers enjoy having barn owls on their property because they eat a lot of rodents. Unfortunately, barn owls usually die on farms because of people that spray plants with pesticides. If you are sending pictures or greeting cards please use the address below.
