Some of the specific habitats where owls may live include:
- Temperate forests: This is the most common habitat for owls, and it includes a variety of tree types and canopy cover. Owls can find suitable nesting sites in the trees and hunt for prey on the ground or in the trees.
- Boreal forests: These forests are found in cold regions and are dominated by coniferous trees. Owls that live in boreal forests are adapted to cold climates and may have specialised hunting techniques for catching prey in the snow.
- Rainforests: Rainforests provide owls with a lush environment with abundant prey and nesting sites. Owls that live in rainforests may be more specialised in their diet and may have adapted to hunting in the dense foliage.
- Grasslands: Owls can also be found in grasslands, where they may nest in trees or on the ground. They hunt for prey on the ground, such as rodents and insects.
- Deserts: Some owls are adapted to living in desert environments, where they may nest in crevices or burrows and hunt for prey in the desert scrub or at oases.
- Marshes: Owls that live in marshes may nest in trees or in dense vegetation. They hunt for prey on the ground or in the water, and they may be adapted to hunting in wet or marshy conditions.
