Behavior

Movement

Barn owls fly around randomly, preferring to fly towards tree tops. They will swim when in water. Being nocturnal, they sleep during the day and are active at night.

Hunting

Untamed barn owls are hostile towards rabbits and little birds like chickadees. Their movement speed increases drastically when aggro'ed, and upon contact with their target they will throw their prey into the air. They can only throw mobs that have less max health than them into the air.

Barn owls will attack anything that damages them, including players.

Taming

Barn owls can be tamed with raw chicken, rotten flesh, and small bird meat. Tamed barn owls no longer attack other animals without the owner's command and will follow their owner. They will sit when right clicked, and attack anything the owner attacks.

(1.16) By right clicking with a stick, a barn owl can be made to either wander or follow its owner.

Breeding

Barn owls can be bred with raw rabbit, chicken, rotten flesh, or small bird meat. They lay 1-7 eggs, and each egg has a 30% chance of hatching.

Spawning

Barn owls spawn in forests, swamps and mesa biomes. They will spawn solitary. Their default spawn weight is 5.
