Owls
The owls are part of the family Strigiformes, which include about 200 birds of prey. Most are solitary, and nocturnal, except for some like the Burrowing owl. Owls hunt mostly small mammals, insects and other birds, though some specialize in hunting fish. Owls are found in all regions of the Earth except Antarctica, most of Greenland, and some remote islands. Living owls are divided into two families: the typical owls, (Strigidae) and the barn-owls, (Tytonidae).

Why would you want to get rid of them? You should enjoy them. Yes they may get anoying, but, its nature, what can you do? Its really hard to get rid of them, no i don't mean kill them, that's illegal. Try to read books about them, maybe then you can find a way to drive them off. but if that does not work, then don't be mad at them, enjoy them!

What are the differences between the owl and the crow?
Owls and crows are very different from each other. One of the main differences between the two is the fact that crows are only black, and owls com in many different colors, including white ( in the case of the snowy owl.) Another difference is that the only thing owls will eat is meat, while crows will eat almost anything. Crows eat during the day, and owls hunt at night, and are predators, which brings us to our next paragraph.
Owls can fly in many different ways. They can flap extremely quickly to gain speed or height, or they can glide long distances. Some owls can hover, while others can flip upside down while flying to catch other flying prey. Some owls parachute out of trees onto their prey. Owls are very interesting fliers.
Crows have one color, and one sound. Owls have many colors and many sounds. Crows are black, and they make a "craw, craw" sound. Owls can be a wide range of colors, such as brown, black, white, grey, and many others. They also make many different sounds. The screech owl screeches, and other owls make a sound that sounds like "Who cooks for you? Who cooks for you?" the snowy owl says nothing.
There are many differences between the owl and the crow. I have only mentioned a few of them.
Animals don't technically eat owls, but wildlife experts with permission from a local wildlife society (which can take a lot of contracts and papers) can shoot them, bring them to school, and teach kids about owls and what they eat.Wolves and Bears do . even foxes .
Many owls feed mainly on furry animals such as mice, rats, moles, squirrels, rabbits, and even skunks. They often swallow the smaller animals whole.
Owls also eat insects, worms, spiders, frogs, lizards, and small birds. Owls can kill animals as large as they are or even larger.
In the world of the hunter...owls eat extremely well!!
The favorite food of North American owls are insects and rodents.
Since owls swallow prey whole, what it cannot digest, such as teeth, claws, and fur, it stores in its gizzard. (part of the owl's stomach) Strong muscles roll the undigested pieces into small balls, called pellets. The owl coughs this up.
Scientists poke through the pellets to learn what owls eat. Sometimes they come across the skull of a mouse, or the leg of a beetle. Sometimes even the scales of fish!
They do this so they can compare what owls eat in different seasons, since owls stay in one place all year long.
When an owl lands on its prey, the owl hits the prey with its feet. If the prey is still alive, it breaks the animal's neck with a quick bite. Then it carries its prey up to a branch to eat.
I hear the sound you're making! But, remember, we can go buy our food at the supermarket. We do not have to hunt for our food. If the owl didn't do this they would be extinct, and you wouldn't hear them in the evening, or even see them at the zoo. So always remember how lucky we are.
the thing that an owl spits up which is the matter that it cant eat :) lolz

What happens after an owl captures its prey?
It will most likely give it a hard knock on the head to kill it, if you are talking about rodents and lizards. After that, it'll gulp it down headfirst. If the owl is getting insects to feed its young, it won't have to kill it, just take it home and feed its babies.
Tigers normally feed on boars, water buffalo, deer, and pythons, not necessarily owls. However, if a tiger wanted to eat an owl, it probably would.

He is a cute little owl in the movie The Sword in the Stone. He is Merlin's pet and has the ability to speak.
I suspect squirrels. I don't know where you live. If you could set up a camera, or stay up and observe overnight, you will hopefully discover the culprit(s). Illuminate the feeder with a red light from a torch - most animals can be observed under a red light as they only see in black and white.
Owls tend to use air under their wings to jump, rather than the jump that we can do and know, owls give a little or a few small flaps of their wings to 'jump'.
