In the wild barn owls AVERAGE only 18 months of life. This is probably why they have so many offspring, compared to most other owls. In captivity, with proper care and diet, they can probably live 20+ years. The main causes of death for wild barn owls are: starvation, vehicle strikes, secondary poisoning because humans use rat poison, electrocution by power lines, predation.
