Barn Owls nest in natural hollows in trees, cliffs, and caves or in man-made structures, like nest boxes, barns, chimneys, and mine shafts. Unlike many other birds of prey, Barn Owls may nest more than once in the same breeding season, even if they successfully raise young during the first attempt. It is believed that an abundance of prey may trigger the birds to re-nest after the first clutch of young begin to leave the area.

Foods take different period of time to lose their natural form though spoilage. In context to food preservation foods are classified as perishable, (meat, fish, milk fruits and some vegetable), semi perishable (eggs, onions, potatoes, carrot, beans) and non-perishable (cereals, pulse nuts).
