They tend to consume lots of different types of invertebrates. This includes spiders, insects, snails, crabs, and earthworms. They will also consume fish, small reptiles, small amphibians, various types of smaller mammals, and even other birds. Rodents including rats and mice are common food sources for the owl.

Answer:

Their diet includes invertebrates (such as insects, spiders, earthworms, snails and crabs), fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and small mammals. The main food largely depends on the species of Owl. For example, Scops and Screech Owls feed on insects mostly, while Barn Owls eat mainly mice, shrews and voles.
