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.
What do Owls eat? Owls are Birds of Prey, which means that they must kill other animals to survive. Their diet includes invertebrates (such as insects, spiders, earthworms, snails and crabs), fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and small mammals. The main food largely depends on the species of Owl. For example, Scops and Screech Owls feed on insects mostly, while Barn Owls eat mainly mice, shrews and voles. Larger Owls such as the Eagle Owl will prey upon hares, young foxes and birds up to the size of ducks and gamebirds.
