The barn owl is the most widely distributed species of owl in the world and one of the most widespread of all species of birds, being found almost everywhere except for polar and desert regions, Asia north of the Himalayas, some islands of Indonesia, and some Pacific Islands. Barn Owls don’t hoot the way most owls do; instead, they make a long, harsh scream that lasts about 2 seconds. It’s made mostly by the male, who often calls repeatedly from the air. Females give the call infrequently. A softer, more wavering version of this is termed a purring call. Males use it to invite a female to inspect a nest site, and females use it to beg for food from the male. Barn Owls also make a loud, 3-4 second hiss at intruders or predators that disturb the nest. When agitated, Barn Owls snap their bill mandibles together. As part of a display flight, males sometimes clap their wings together once or twice. Here is a link so you can hear then scream at you as well.

a little curiosity, in brazil especially in rural areas they are know as rasga mortalha (shroud rippers) because of the scream, people believe that they are bad omen, this leads then to scare away and kill them.
i'm thinking of tattooing one in my back, an owl of a crow, both amazing animals but surrounded by dumb superstition, i'm more inclined to a owl because that aren't crow in brazil.

idk if we have any superstitions about barn owls in my neck of the woods, I’ll have to look into it. Also a barn owl tattoo sounds really 🆒.
