Best Answer

Because they are nocturnal much like other nocturnal animals they sleep in dark places all day (owls sleep in tree holes), owls have eyes adapted to seeing at night, if they were to fly during the day they would be blinded and subsequently crash into something and fall to their death. Plus their hearing is capable of hearing faint movements of mice/rats during the night.
