Current Breeding Birds

Barn Owl (Tyto alba)	Angel (Female)	Typically 4-6 eggs are laid. The average is 4.7, and clutches laid earlier in the year are usually larger than later ones. Not all the eggs hatch though (4 is the average), as some may be infertile. Barn Owls begin incubation as soon as the first egg is laid and lay additional eggs over a period of around 8-21 days. After 31-32 days’ incubation, the eggs hatch every 2-3 days, usually in the order they were laid. This is termed “asynchronous” hatching. The age difference between the oldest and youngest nestlings can be as much as three weeks. This age variation serves to reduce the peak in food demand and spread it over a longer period. The female does all the incubation and the male provides all the food until the young are around 3 weeks old.
