The barn owl (Tyto alba) is an enchanting species found around the world, known for its distinct heart-shaped face and silent flight. These birds have adapted to various habitats, from rural fields to the edges of cities.
Their diet mainly consists of small mammals, making them incredibly beneficial for keeping rodent populations in check. Barn owls have excellent low-light vision and exceptional hearing, which they use to detect and capture prey with remarkable accuracy.
