| Barn Owl
http://en.wikipedia.org
The Barn Owl (Tyto alba) is the most widely distributed species of owl, and one of the most widespread of all birds. It is also referred to as Common Barn Owl, to distinguish it from other species in the barn owl family Tytonidae, any of which may be called a barn owl. Tytonidae is one of the two groups of owls, the other being the typical owls Strigidae.

| Raising juvenile birds: Diets
http://www.epa.qld.gov.au
You should also be aware that birds have high-energy requirements. This is due to their high metabolic rate, high body temperature (around 41 - 43 C) and a fast heart rate (exceeding 400 beats per minute in small birds). Their energy requirements will be increased further by disease, injury and their stage of development. Young birds require large amounts of food to survive. However, there is not a standard percentage of body weight that will work for all birds. Factors you will need to consider about the bird when deciding the quantity and frequency of feeding include:

| Birding in Kenya
http://www.kenyabirds.org.uk
The variation in habitat across Kenya means that different areas of the country have very different bird lists, making it a fascinating part of the world for birders to visit. Since so much of the coutry is open grassland or bush the birds are also relatively easy to see. Some specialist tours reckon on 5-600 species in a two week tour. Taking it fairly gently, without a specialist bird guide, but going on some of the bird walks available at lodges we've managed 350 species in two weeks; there's a lot of birds out there

| Animal/Bird Phobias
http://www.anxietycare.org.uk
Phobias are very common – it is believed that at least one person in 10 is affected at some time in their life. And phobias about animals and birds are among the commonest of all. Pigeons, cats and dogs can be a particular problem, because there are so many of them around. A severe phobia about them can be as disabling as any anxiety disorder. Even fear of rats, frogs and snakes, which most people seldom encounter, can be the cause of much misery in certain circumstances.
