It is also referred to as Common Barn Owl, to distinguish it from other species in the barn owl family Tytonidae. It is found almost anywhere in the world except polar and desert regions, Asia north of the Alpide belt, most of Indonesia, and the Pacific islands. However, they have been introduced to control rodents in the Hawaiian island of Kauai. The Barn Owl is a pale, long-winged, long-legged owl with a short squarish tail.
