Like all other [[birds of prey]], the barn owls feed are carnivorous. They often prey upon small rodents, such as mice, as their primary source of food. In certain situations, the members of family tytonidae will result to feeding on other birds, reptiles, frogs, and even insects. Typically, the equivalent of a fairly large rat is consumed by an average tyto alba.<ref name=Sky-hunters.org/> As a large bird of prey, the barn owls are hunted by very few other animals. Occasionally, the chicks may be taken by a predator such as a raccoon.<ref name=Sky-hunters.org/> On a rare occasion, an adult [[tyto alba]] may be killed by great-horned owl.<ref name= http://animaldiversity.edu/> | Like all other [[birds of prey]], the barn owls feed are carnivorous.
