in the desert
Owls do not live in cacti. They usually nest in trees, burrows, or structures like old buildings. Cacti are not suitable habitats for owls due to their structure and lack of protection from predators.

Desert owls live in arid regions such as deserts and semi-arid areas in North and South America, Africa, Eurasia, and Australia. They are often found in dry, open landscapes with sparse vegetation where they can hunt for small rodents and insects. Some common species of desert owls include the burrowing owl and the great horned owl.
A cactus is a plant that lives in the desert.
The desert
Barn owls tend to live closer in fields. They eat mice so they stay closer to fields and cities. However, if the city is in a desert area, the owl can survive. I live in Tucson and we have pleanty of barn owls. They just stay closer to the city than going out in the desert.
owls
Yes they do live there.
All owls have night vision. Since the desert can get so hot, most animals, including owls, come out at evening or night to avoid the heat of day. Since they're active at night, it's good to have nocturnal vision. Some desert owls are elf owls, pygmy owls, burrowing owls, great horned owls. It allows them to hunt when it is cooler.
There are several species of barrel cactus that live in one or the other deserts of North America. The barrels occur most frequently in the Sonoran Desert.
