Because mice reproduces rapidly but owls don't
in the order to have enough food an owl will catch several mice. This means that there must be more mice than owls and the mice must be well fed with grass seed to be more fat and the owls will have bigger meals.
It hunts mice and a lot more
Because mice are what owls like to catch and eat and that makes the owl a predator.
To mice
Think of the food pyramid as a pyramid... if your building a pyramid with blocks you need to have more blocks on the bottom then the top. Also 1 Owl has to eat many mice to leave, so for 1 owl, there are 10 mice, a mouse needs to eat alot of grass to live, so for every mouse there is 10 grasses. Since 1 owl needs 10 mice, and 10 mice need 10 grasses each to live (10x10= 100) then there has to be 100 grasses to feed 1 owl, so you get this pyramid: 1 10 100
owl
An OWL
As the owl population increases and they consume more mice, the immediate effect is a decline in the mouse population. This reduction in prey can lead to a subsequent decline in the owl population over time due to food scarcity. Additionally, the decrease in mice may allow for the recovery of other species within the ecosystem, potentially leading to a more balanced food web. Overall, these dynamics illustrate the interconnectedness of predator and prey populations in an ecosystem.
By predating on mice, could save some crops. Other than that, no effect.
Mice
a mottled owl eats reptiles, insects, mice, and spiders
A snowy owl eats mice, yes.
