Some Birds lay eggs and leave them to fend for themselves while Barn Owls (Tyto Alba) raise and teach their young until they are old enough to have a mate and nest of their own.

Owls have excellent night vision and hearing. The barn owl in particular has the best hearing of any animal ever tested. A barn owl can drop down on prey solely using its hearing. Owls have specially adapted flight feathers that allow air to pass through the edges, thus rendering them silent in flight. They can drop down on prey without the prey ever hearing them. They quickly grab and dispatch the prey with their sharp, strong talons and then fly off to swallow the prey whole or deliver it to a nest site.
