Always been fascinated with owls, they're so cute yet terrifying at the same time and their feathers look fluffy.
Honestly, same!
Love them.
You forgot the biggest threat to barn owls.
Mothman impersonators
1:11 He's just vibing.
tehe they're so cute. they look like cotton balls with beady eyes. and they're monogamous, how romantic
0:16 more like apple slice shaped owl
Barn Owls are actually my favorite Owls.
Barn owls are freaking terrifying. But cool
1:11 it's like he's at the 1981 Hampton Rolling Stones concert I can just see it just jamming out little birdy haha.
3:44 Poor owlet, literally smushed at the end.
cute halve-eaten owl
That is so clever that they store prey for their young to eat as soon as they hatch! Thanks for another great video 💚
They seem to be resourceful parents for sure!
I love how condescending the way you said that, it's not like these animals evolved from million of years to survive side by side with us humans. Owls can't hunt when it's raining. Doesn't take much brain cells to think of storing food in advance
Barn owls are beautiful birds
Wonderful video! you teach us interesting things. There is a lot of work and research in everything you do. Thank you and big th-up!
I'm glad I discovered your channel :)

Thank you for making this this video!
Thank you for watching! =D
VERY informative ty
I use to call them moonface owls
It totally makes sense!
We like barn owls! I guess we have common barn owls here, I learned that there are many species in the family! Thanks again - love your channel! 👍👍
That's great! Have you ever seen one in real life? I've only ever heard them around us. And thanks so much!!
@@AnimalFactFiles Yes! We have heard them around our area, and last winter we went out driving after dark, about 7:30 p looking for one... we saw one flying near us, over a farm field! Then we went out the next two nights in the same area... saw one again each night! One time flying and one time on a fence post! That was really exciting!
@@AnimalFactFiles We’ve been seeing quite a few marmots this year while hiking, and I was wondering if you could do a video on marmots. Here in WA we have 3 varieties... it would be fun to learn more about them. Thanks 😊😊
Ooooh that's so cool you were able to see some barn owl flying over the field like that! What a lucky capture!! And yes!! I love the idea of looking marmots; I'll certainly get those added to the list. Thanks! =)
@@AnimalFactFiles It was really cool- thanks! We could see him in the car lights - a really good view of the face 😊
Peregrine Falcons are also cosmopolitan.

One American Alligator appeared as a character in Disney’s the Princess and the Frog.
They did 😊

Thank you very much!
Ok!
It’s my power animal. Arctic snow hare is my spirit animal 😬

Can you do humans next pls
I don't think we're going to do humans at this point. They get quite a bit of attention as it is already. Thanks for watching, though!
Can you do Bubo Owls?
That's a great suggestion! Thanks!
Falseknees sent me
Can you guys do nudibranches love your videos you are my favourite youtuber
Thanks so much!!! We have a nudibranch episode you can find here: ua-cam.com/video/Q1uAJy2Wi10/v-deo.html
Thanks so much for watching!! =)
🦉🩷
Otherwise known as fake owls. lol
Try to make short video it would be more interesting
Long videos makes some people bored
My suggestion
Thanks for the suggestion. We'll keep that in mind. Thanks for watching! =)
@@AnimalFactFiles No, the video length was perfect. I didn't notice the time at all!
Beautiful pictures , but awful, boring, robotic reading of text.
Too bad you feel that. We'll try to do better in the future. Hope you have a wonderful day regardless! 💚
