Great Horned Owls are native to the Americas, with a preference for deciduous, coniferous, forest, and desert habitats. They are carnivores with a diet that includes small mammals, reptiles, and even other owls!
Fun fact: When clenched, a Great Horned Owl’s strong talons require a force of 28 pounds to open.
Our resident owl is with us due to a permanent wing injury that prohibits them from ever flying properly again.
