Owls

Depending on the species, owls either lay eggs or give live birth.

They have to be in an open environment and they have to be in a dark place. Also they like to catch there prey without going far. They like to be near rough grass land because they can catch small mammals and rodents.

Well, that is a question I was going to ask to clarify more and be more specific in my report, however, I do know that it starts with an egg. The owl's egg tooth helps it's way out of the egg, and soon after it hatches the egg tooth falls off. When they are first born they are pink and rather ugly (yet i think a little cute!). They do not yet have any flight feathers, only downy feathers. When they are ready these will molt so the new flying feathers can come in. They are taught to fly and hunt by their parents, then at some point they will leave to find their own nests and make a family. Families often consist of 2-3 chicks, and these little chicks compete for food when there is a low supply; and the biggest ones will win. Soon if this keeps happening the others) will die. However, this is all the circle of life... Duh

Robins have a couple of warning calls that they make when they spot a predator, which helps other robins to notice the danger. If a hawk flies over, robins sometimes freeze in position, and can hold still for a long time if necessary. One summer I spent a lot of time watching a pair of Merlins (bird-hunting falcons) who were nesting in an area adjoining a robin nest territory. Whenever the male robin sang, he sang at half volume, so he sounded very far away when he was right there!

Yes. Owls are birds, and birds reproduce by laying eggs.

Most of the time, to most owls, they eat 730 animals per year. There are many different owls, but 700-730 is the approximate amount of animals. The point is that owls can eat up to hundreds of animals.

Spotted Owl or any Owl for that matter is definitely a predator in its own ecosphere. Especially in India, it is now on the verge of becoming extinct owing to destruction of its natural habitat.

They use their talons to grab their prey in the head to kill they swallow use their stomach to pack the bones into a bundle of fur and they spit it back up threw their beaks process is called yarping.They then...hehe POOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

snowy owls move around by flying

No, they can turn it 270 degrees, which is far, but not all the way. They look like they can turn their heads all the way around, but its just that they have a lot of fur surrounding their neck which makes it look that way.

They fly over your head gigity and eat mice and many other macro animals...gigity

Call your local fish and game or wildlife service. They have all the equipment to take care of it. Above all, don't keep it. There are laws in place that could get you in a lot of trouble for keeping a wild animal.

well the predator of an owl is fish,snakes, chipmunks and , squrrells,

There is no specific term or either a male or female owl.

It depends on the species of owl but roughly 2 weeks.

You cannot tame a raptor unless it is an imprint. Raptors in general, (owls included) are wild, but can be conditioned and trained to associate you as a method of getting food. This is what falconry is about. In falconry, you train a raptor to hunt with you. (well, you actually hunt for the bird.) At any time, the raptor can fly away from you and return to the wild, so you are dependent on the bird.

An imprint is an eyas (baby raptor) that has been raised with humans from the egg. Naturally, infant animals are imprinted on their parents, which helps them survive and associate with their own species. Unlike other birds, imprints think that they are one of you. Because of this, they are dependent on you- until they become adults. They are very high maintenance to raise and train, and many things can go wrong.

Many people have the wrong idea that owls can become tame. Unfortunately, Harry Potter and Hedwig have only feed to the flames. In the U.S., the mere handling of owls is illegal except for licensed zoos, vets, and rehabilitators. Beyond this, there are very few exceptions. Even experienced falconers agree that training owls for falconry is nearly impossible. Besides, owls aren't very smart; trivia from the Harry Potter movies admitted that it took 8 months to teach a barn owl to fly to someone's hand with a letter.

Update: Adult Great Horned Owls MAY be trained, but the process is extremely time consuming, rare and not always successful. For falconry, there are far faster, better ways to catch and kill prey than with an owl, imprinted or otherwise. Unlike hawks or falcons, owl brains do not operate the same by sight. Their brains are functioning on life through audible cues. The adult owl cannot be trained in the same procedure as an adult trapped hawk, which is hunger based with positive rewards for performance. Owls have extremely low metabolisms and can go several days without food, negating the use of hunger as a motivator. It will not respond and will resent the attempts, only taking a bite or two to sustain life before retreating back to it's basic instincts of survival through avoidance and non-comformity. Owls are not stupid. They are simply uninterested in anything that does not involve their immediate mission and have no reason to change. They can discriminate the tiniest scratching sounds of a mouse in a field of windblown grass and nail it. This is done by sound, not sight. Trying to walk in a field while hunting with your owl, only makes it's job harder. There have been many documented accounts of imprinted owls being very successful at falconry hunting on jacks and cottontails. Only a couple of instances have been documented where an adult owl was used with success. These were trained by Anna Amparo Sanchez in Barcelona Spain at the King's of Spain Natural'Mente raptor center. The most difficult part of training a captured adult owl is to develop the bird's recognition... and ACCEPTANCE of the human's presence and as a safe source of food. It is better to find a candidate at a rehabilitation center that has been exposed to these aspects over a long period of time, AND has fully recovered from any injuries that placed it there. That eliminates the hardest part of the equation. My newest adult owl "Edsel" originated from that same background and is progressing through his training as expected. Still... the process is painfully slow. An imprint is definitely the way to go if you wish to punish yourself with training an owl for falconry use.

You can tell what kinds of things they can and cannot digest.

spotted owls protect themselves by their sharp talons... or they can use their beak to rip the prey up only if they put it's talons right into it and kill it... or they can be scared sometimes and use their wings which is 40-50 cm. long to fly away

Owls, like all birds, have a cloaca for all excetory functions.

Kingdom: Animalia

Phylum: Chordata

Class: Aves

Order: Strigiformes

Family: Strigidae

Genus: Strix

Species: S. nebulosa

The owl is at the top of the food web; it has no major predators; Most owls eat mice and small animals such as rodents, insects, and frogs. Some of their favorite foods are voles, lemmings and squirrels. They also eat moles, rabbits, and other small animals. Bigger owls eat snakes and other birds.

The upper part of a barn is usually called a "loft".

I feed my captive bred owls the same, if not better diet that they would get in the wild, consisting of,

Hamster

Guinea pig

Rat

Mice

Pheasant

Pigeon

rabbit

Crow

Chicken

Turkey

Beef

Lamb

Venison

Moor hen

Any any other meat brought to me.
