Their hunting grounds can span half a mile, leading them to feel cramped in close quarters. Add to that the fact that owls are solitary by nature. They live alone, they hunt alone--they just want to be left alone. The only exception is during breeding season. Owls are hunters and they hunt small prey, such furry creatures as mice, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small birds.
They require a whole prey diet and can consume upwards of three or four mice daily. Not to get too graphic, but owls tend to be messy eaters, with talons and beaks that are designed to tear apart their prey. Owls are also not the quietest of birds, and are known for frequent hooting through the night.

This makes them incompatible with common household items like furniture, clothing and all the other trappings of domestic life.
