What is the Lifespan of an Owl?
Owls are known for their long life span, with some species living up to 10-20 years in the wild and even longer in captivity. The lifespan of an owl depends on various factors such as species, habitat, diet, and general health.
Smaller owl species, such as the saw-whet owl, typically have a lifespan of 5-7 years in the wild. Larger owl species, such as the great horned owl and the snowy owl, have a lifespan of up to 10-15 years in the wild. In captivity, with proper care and a controlled environment, owls can live even longer, up to 20 years or more.
The habitat of an owl also plays a role in its lifespan. Owls living in areas with a large prey base and minimal human disturbance tend to live longer than those living in areas with limited resources or high levels of human interaction. Additionally, a balanced diet, access to clean water, and protection from predators can also positively impact an owl's lifespan.
Owl Behavior

They sometimes join flocks outside of their breeding season. In fact, a group of owls is called a parliament. Owls typically have an upright stance with a large square head. They have binocular vision along with binaural hearing and feathers adapted for their flight which is silent.
