Miscellaneous

  • Where can I obtain wild Barn Owl pellets? We receive far more requests for pellets than we can accommodate. As a result, availability is strictly limited to schools and other educational institutions, and to no more than 30 pellets per institution, per year. Please contact us for further details. Alternatively, you can purchase an individual pellet dissection pack with a pellet in it.
  • Where can I buy or sell a captive-bred Barn Owl? We do not buy or sell Barn Owls, nor are we in a position to recommend anyone that does. Try Cage & Aviary Birds magazine or a reputable falconry organisation. See: Thinking of keeping a captive Barn Owl?
  • How can I support the work of the Barn Owl Trust? Find out how to help wild Barn Owls, even without much spare cash or time. We are a very small charity and we make sure that a little goes a long way!
