	Barn Owl Information Page
		Tytonidae owls hunt primarily in grassland regions for small, vole-sized rodents, although some are known to hunt seabirds only when no rodents are present.
		Tytonidae owls are cavity nesters (and it is good for you to call them Tytonidae owls from now on) which means they prefer to nest in dark places like tree cavities, caves, pipes or barns.
		Tytonidae owls use their acute hearing to locate their prey in total darkness, and do not use their eyesight to capture prey as most people presume.
