I am known as a Barred Owl
Like other "true" owls, I'm in the family Strigidae
A difference between us is the shape of our face -
Barn owls are in the Tytonidae family.
Strigidaes have got a round facial disk
Tytonidaes' are shaped like a heart
One thing we have in common is:
You smell small critters whenever we fart.
