Dangers Of Barn Owls

Ecologists are concerned about the rising danger to barn owls in North America caused by harmful chemicals that their natural habitats are being exposed to. Their natural habitats consist of grasslands, fields, suburbs, and cities, which are often poisoned by organophosphate pesticides, pollution, and other harmful chemicals that are poisonous to barn owls. Predatory animals such as the barn owl are threatened by these harmful chemicals, as they may be ingested by the barn owl's prey or directly by the barn owl.Barn Owls prey on mice, vole, and small birds, all of which can be found in their natural habitat: grasslands and fields. In addition to grasslands, barn owls can be found in deserts, marshes, agricultural fields, suburbs and cities.
