EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a mounted specimen of the common barn owl (Tyto alba), a nocturnal bird of prey belonging to the Strigiformes order and the Tytonidae family. Barn owls are widely distributed across Europe, South America, U.S.A, Africa, and Australia, with approximately 35 recognized subspecies. The barn owl's soft, mottled plumage, featuring a creamy base with grey speckles, is evident in this studio shot. Its belly is a paler shade, contrasting with the darker wings and back. The owl's face is a mask of wisdom, with large, forward-facing eyes that provide excellent night vision, and a distinctive heart-shaped face. The barn owl's talons, sharp and curved, are perfectly adapted for seizing and holding onto prey. These birds primarily feed on rodents, rabbits, and other small mammals, making them essential predators in their ecosystems. As a taxidermy specimen, this barn owl provides an excellent opportunity to study its anatomy up close. The owl's ringed beak, a characteristic feature of the Tytonidae family, is visible, as are its feathers and the intricate details of its facial disc. Barn owls are fascinating creatures, with their silent flight and hunting abilities making them a beloved symbol of the night. This mounted specimen serves as a reminder of their beauty and importance in the natural world.
