The Barn Owl's diet is predominantly mice, rates, voles and gophers. On occasion it will snatch a fish out of the water, or a bird from the sky. When hunting, it flies low to the ground and dives onto its prey with talons extended. Extremely good at hearing, the Barn Owl can catch its prey in total darkness. It is a nocturnal creature but will occasionally hunt during daylight hours.
Its prey is torn apart and completely consumed. What the Barn Owl cannot digest is packed into pellets and spits-up.
So they eat occasionally. It's up to the owl to decide if they want to eat or not.
