The biggest threat to barn owls is humans. While hunting at night, they typically fly at low altitude and are sometimes hit and killed by automobiles. Owlets may be attacked and killed by raccoons, large cats or larger Birds of Prey. An inability of the male owl to locate a suitable number of mice to feed the clutch of young will result in the weakest ones starving to death.
