Yes, they do. All owls that are of large size, (or at least not having the size equivalent to that of a few inches high, such as the Elf, or Saw-Whet owl) Eat the usual owl food. These foods consist of many little rodents: Mice, Rats, Voles, Moles, bugs, small birds, etc.

I hope that this was what you were looking for!
