What is the owing owl?
Burrowing Owl (Athene Canicularia) is one of the smaller species of the owl and is known for nesting in the underground burrow. Owrowing owl ranges from 9 to 11 inches (23 to 28 cm) is small enough to take over the habitat that once used rodents. These habitats are underground tunnels that are excavated by squirrels, gophers or prairies.
pastures, open prairies and agricultural land are the primary environment where the owl can be found. Their short figure allows them to remain before the sight of low pastures. Primarily brown colors have white spots and white stripes over the chest. Their color also helps mask them on the ground.
Burrowing owls have long legs, giving them the ability to run on the ground and hunt prey. During the day they feed on thermit, beetles and other insects. Fruits, seeds and lizards are also part of their diet. Burrowing owls can be very active in Suntes and hunt mice and other rodents as soon as they darken. Hunts the rodent by sweating on themPi from above. You can also find them throughout Mexico and Brazil and Argentina in South American countries. Owls living in areas with colder temperatures migrate to warmer areas during the winter months.
Spring is a period of reproduction for existing owls. A owl woman can lay up to 12 eggs, which she will take care of in the lair for about a month until they break up. The male owls will be monitored outside the burrows and then after the help of feeding newborn chickens after they hatch. At the age of one month, the chickens are able to start wandering alone. Parents will take care of the young for several months.
Natural predators of these owls include much more prey, snakes, skunks, cats, dogs and even Armadillos. When it is at risk, the Owrowing Owl exhibits a characteristic swing up and down. The owl then immerses into the safety of the burrow.
People can also create a danger for the boundary of owls. Because these owls live on earth, jSounshadled that they are hit by vehicles. As agricultural land and pastures develop, the natural habitat for the owl disappears. Human destruction of Norwegians also reduces the available nesting areas for boundaries of owls.
