There are SO many different stories about when, where, what, size, weight, breeding, food and feeding say about what you should and shouldn’t  do when you have or are seeing an Barn owl.
Me and my partner chose to turn to good and solid sources,  here is two of them if you feel like reading more about Barn Owls!

We have also taken a full course in Falconry, handling different kind of Bird of Prey (mainly Barn Owls). This include good basic skills in handling and training Bird of Preys and important information about nutrition and diet.
