Barn Owl 2

Barn Owl 2

The barn owl feeds on small animals such as mice, rabbits and rats. The heavy use of pesticides on crops, the consumption of these crops by small rodents, which in turn are eaten by the barn owl, has caused a great decrease in their numbers. There are 32 races of barn owl found in western Europe, North America, Africa, India, Australia and Asia. [BM] {FW}
