What is this type of owl called?
The sound of the barn owl was confused for the sound of the banshee years ago.
Like all owls, the barn owl has incredible hearing. As a result it can hunt in complete darkness. It hunts for mice, rats, frogs or even small birds.
The barn owl is called Scréachóg Reilige in Irish (Graveyard Screecher).
They are a farmers friend as they can eat over 1000 rodents a year. However farmers leave out poison to kill rodents and many owls can get secondary poisoning as a result.
I really liked learning about barn owls and I learnt that the makes pellets to eat animals.
