About These Birds
Barn Owl
The barn owl has the most asymmetrical ears of any owl, giving it the finest auditory localization ability in the animal kingdom. It can catch prey in complete darkness using sound alone. The barn owl's distinctive heart-shaped face acts as a parabolic dish, funneling sound to its offset ears.
Andaman Masked-Owl
The Andaman Masked-Owl is a barn owl endemic to the Andaman Islands. It inhabits forested areas of the archipelago and hunts at night for small mammals and other vertebrates. Its heart-shaped facial disc is characteristic of the Tytonidae family.
