Flammulated owls eat mainly insects such as beetles, crickets, or butterflies. They also occasionally eat shrews. I happened to see one hunting at night, though, and it seemed to be attacking a small bird.
The Flammulated Owl (Otus flammeolus) has flame coloured feathers which give the owl its name. It gained its scientific name of flammeolus from the Latin word for 'flame' or 'flame-shaped', a direct reference to its flamelike colouration.The Flammulated Owl is also known as the Flammulated Scops Owl, or sometimes the Dwarf Owl. It was previously known as the Flammulated Screech Owl.
The Eastern-Screech owl and the Flammulated owl.

Most of them favor rodents, particularly barn owls. Some smaller ones (Flammulated, Burrowing) favor insects (crickets, moths). The Great Horned Owl may have the most varied diet. They have been recorded to eat skunks, rabbits, tiny deer, snakes, frogs, scorpions, other birds including other owls, fish, and even carrion when times are difficult.
