Unlike most owls, the burrowing owl is most active during the day. Living below ground helps to keep them cool when it’s hot outside. They tend to live in small groups called a parliament. In people, a parliament is a group of leaders who make decisions. In owls, the name comes from their association with wisdom. The owls take turns outside of the den watching for danger. Burrowing owls are known to eat insects, small mammals, and lizards. They will line the entrance of their burrow with mammals scat before they start nesting. Making it easy to get insects at the entrance to their burrow instead of hunting for them.
