Great Horned Owls nest in tree holes, stumps, caves, or in the abandoned nests of other large birds. Monogamous pairs have one to five eggs (two is typical), both the male and female incubate, and the male also hunts for food. The young birds learn to fly well when they are about nine weeks old and will live for about 28 years. Owls are powerful birds and fiercely protective parents. They have even been known to attack humans who wander too close to their young. ~ http://animals.nationalgeographic.com
