Size - Like most owls and birds of prey, female barn owls are larger than males.
The facial disc — Females often have darker brown feathers around the rim of the facial disc.
Overall Colour - The female barn owl tends to exhibit a slightly darker, richer brown colour over most of its body.
Who wears the buff-coloured scarf? - Female barn owls generally have a slightly buff-coloured patch covering their throat, while the male's throat feathers are whiter.
Spot the spots - Females tend to have small flecks or spots down their front flanks. Males generally have purer white plumage.
Tales of the tail feathers - Females typically have slightly darker tail feathers than males.
Courtship Behaviour - The female frequently undertakes most of the grooming and preening of the “henpecked” male.
Territorial Behaviour - Due to her instinctive desire to nest and breed, the female may display stronger territorial behaviour than the male.
Who does the hunting? - If you are fortunate enough to have cameras in a barn owl nest box during the breeding season, you can see which is the female as she sits on the eggs.
