Barn Owl is included in the 2006 Wikipedia CD Selection, or is a candidate for inclusion in the next version. Please maintain high quality standards and, if possible, stick to GFDL-compatible images.

This page is a re-direst from the Barn owl Family page. Is there a page for the family itself? There is more to Tytonidae than just this one species! I'm prepared to do that page, if there aren't any objections.Sabine 17:50, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• I've started a Barn owl Family page at Barn owls, but it needs some narrative, and probably a better title to distinguish it from Barn Owl.Mwng 09:23, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• Finally gotten round to filling in family info.Sabine's Sunbird 03:47, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Reversion

I think that a new contributor here might be a little confused about how to go about editing a page, and they deleted the taxobox, and removed almost all formatting. I reverted them because it was such a dramatic reduction in the aesthetic appeal, and also because it looks like some information was removed.

Still, there was probably a lot of salvagable content in the edit, which is why I invite editors to incorporate the text made in this edit into the article. Thanks. -Frazzydee|✍ 00:05, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

• It looks like all the formatting was removed, but I couldn't find any new material. Sabine's Sunbird 04:25, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Map

The map is at least slightly wrong, Barn Owls are definitely found in southern Ontario WilyD 15:42, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

• It also has them in New Caledonia, which is incorrect. Still, it's a reasonably accurate map. Sabine's Sunbird talk 17:04, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photograph in taxobox

Perhaps one of the other colour photographs would be better in the taxobox. Snowman 14:46, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
