Best Answer

A typical nest is around 5 feet in diameter. Eagles often use the same nest year after year. Over the years, some nests become enormous, as much as 9 feet in diameter, weighing two tons.

Barn owls make nests using what they regurgitate. They reuse their nests each year. A barn owl will nest just about anywhere in these somewhat small cup-shaped habitats.

Eagles use the same nest year after year, adding fresh sticks each time, and sometimes old nests can weigh over a ton.

Where do Barn owls live and nest?

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.
