Description

The common barn owl lives across more areas than almost any other bird on earth.

People use many names for this bird based on its looks, call and silent flight. These names include white owl, ghost owl, demon owl and church owl.

The barn owl hunts at night across most of the world. Birds in Britain and some Pacific islands also hunt by day.

Nesting times change depending on the location. The female lays about four eggs inside hollow trees, old buildings, or cliff cracks. She hatches the eggs and relies on the male to bring all the food.

This medium-sized pale owl features long wings and a short, square tail. This tail shape helps people separate the barn owl from other owls during flight.

You can also recognize the bird by its wavy flight path and hanging, feathered legs.

Its pale, heart-shaped face and dark eyes look like a flat mask in the air. The feathers above the beak even look like a small nose.
