The family tytonidae is a family of [[strigiformes]] that consists of two genera, each containing fairly similar owls. These owls are commonly represented by the [[common barn owl]] but this family consists of eighteen separate species. All tytonids have relatively similar physical appearances, and feeding habits. The members of tytonidae are easily recognized by their heart-shaped facial disks and sleek looking bodies. The barn owls are the most widely spread variety of birds in the world. | The family tytonidae is a family of [[strigiformes]] that consists of two genera, each containing fairly similar owls.
