The Barn Owl is a beautiful and majestic bird. They have a whitish heart shaped face, chest, and stomach. This owl nests in hidden, quiet places during the day but by night, they hunt any small mammal in open fields and meadows. The population of this owl is declining rapidly. The main factor resulting in this owl becoming endangered is the loss of habitat and of prey species, mainly due to urbanization. People are also releasing pesticides and chemicals into the environment which can cause reproductive problems and the death of many birds. Farming and other developments have destroyed 75% of Canada's original prairies which means suitable nesting sites for Barn Owls are disappearing. There are some programs in place that are trying to help the Barn Owl but we still need your help and support. By signing this petition you would be demonstrating your support and compassion for the Barn Owl and you would be helping to ending this terrible epidemic.
