The barn owl is the most widespread landbird species in the world, occurring in every continent except Antarctica.  Females are ready to breed at ten to eleven months of age although males sometimes wait till the following year. Barn owls are usually monogamous, sticking to one partner for life unless one of the pair dies. During the non-breeding season they may roost separately, but as the breeding season approaches they return to their established nesting site, showing considerable site fidelity. Unusually for such a medium-sized carnivorous animal, the barn owl exhibits
r
-selection, producing a large number of offspring with a high growth rate, many of which have a relatively low probability of surviving to adulthood.
While wild barn owls are thus decidedly short-lived, the actual longevity of the species is much higher – captive individuals may reach twenty years of age or more.
This Barn Owl was thrown on a potter's wheel, and his features were hand sculpted.  His eyes are porcelain. This character would look great in any kitchen, desktop or any Face Jug collection.  This piece is dishwasher and food safe. This face jug is initialed and dated by the artist.  It is an OOAK, was designed and made by Susi Nagoda Bergquist.
