Like many parts of the body, the brain tends to shrink with age, but lifting weights appears to help slow the process.
They usually build their nests about as high up as the roof of a one-floor house. A mother Screech Owl will lay 3 or 4 eggs in their nests, and will sit on them for about 26 days, until the baby owls hatch. What they eat: Screech Owls hunt for food at night, when they can see much better than people can. Most owls look for food from a tree branch, but screech owls hunt while they fly around. When they find food, they fly down very, very quietly and catch it. Then they take the food up into a tree and tear it to bits and eat it. Screech owls like to eat little birds, mice, shrews, and other small animals.
Weasels eat small animals, and raccoons eat animals, fishes, frogs, and fruit. Owls eat mice and chipmunks. Large secondary consumers, such as wolves, bears, and cougars, are the only ones who can bring down deer or elk. The larger carnivores may also eat smaller ones sometimes. There are other animals in this food web, such as foxes, beavers, black birds, and porcupines. Because the plants do so well, animals flourish too. Threats to the Temperate Rainforest Most of the threats toward the temperate rainforest come from humans harvesting trees to use as resources for such things as paper.
