Barn owls can eat up to 10 rodents per day. Farmers have constructed 60 “nesting boxesin this valley for the owls to use as their homes, which gives their babies a safe place to hatch. How will this affect the rodent population?
by making safe homes for the owls the farmer decreases owl deaths. this results in more owls that need more food. even more rodents will be hunted, resulting in more rodent deaths.
