Errol is a barn owl. Barn owls can be found all over the world, and are known for their iconic heart-shaped face and distinctive call. They are primarily nocturnal birds, and their large eyes allow them to take advantage of the low light levels at night to hunt their prey. Errol is a classic example of a barn owl, with white and brown feathers, yellow eyes, and a facial disc outlined in black.

Barn owls are small and medium-sized birds, with a body length ranging from 9-25 inches. They typically eat small rodents, insects, and other small animals, and have a wide range of diets depending on their environment.

Barn owls are often found nesting and roosting in old buildings and barns, hence their name. They can also be found in forested areas, grasslands, and in some urban locations.
