Barn owls are the most widely spread species of owls on the planet. Their iconic face disks help channel sound into their ear-holes.

Owls come in many different sizes, the smallest species (the elf owl, long-whiskered owlet & Tamaulipas pygmy owl) being only about the size of a sparrow.

Their unique feathers allow owls to fly almost perfectly silent: Serrations on the edge of wing feathers break up noisome air turbulence, which is further dampened by the unusually velvety texture of their feathers. This is also why owls are so incredibly soft.

Contrary to popular belief, not all owls are nocturnal. There are some who are diurnal like us, some who hunt during dusk and dawn, and many many who don't have a clearly defined sleep schedule, instead adapting to prey availability.

While most owl species are solitary creatures, some species roost in groups of up to 20 or sometimes even hundreds of individuals! Notable examples include the burrowing owl and long eared owl.

Burrowing owls are the only owls to nest in underground burrows, made by small mammals or themselves, if none of the former are available. When threatened, they retreat into these burrows and imitate the sound of a rattlesnake to scare off intruders.
