Owls do not build nests. Some are cavity nesters, like the Common Barn Owl and the screech owls. Barn owls have been known to nest in: old buildings, caves, in palm trees, anywhere they can find a little hidden area. Owls that are not cavity nesters will use the nests of other large birds: crows, ravens, hawks. Some nest on the ground (Snowy Owl, Short-eared Owl), others will nest on ledges or in old buildings. As far as nest building goes, barn owls come closest in that the female will shred and arrange the pellets (regugitated undisgested bones and fur) to make a nice warm "carpet" for the eggs and chicks.
