The British Barn Owl

The barn owl is one of the most popular birds in Britain but is now extremely rare. The birds favors open habitats such as grasslands, hedgerows,
the edges of fields or woodlands, stubble fields, drainage ditches, and farmyards.
The barn owl is a carnivore and hunts for its favorite diet of small mammals and birds. It usually flies slowly back and forth, about three meters
above the ground, using its large eyes and sensitive hearing to spot likely prey. If suitable perches, such as fence posts, are available, the bird may save
energy by hunting from these. Once it has swooped silently down, a hooked beak tears into victim. Food is often swallowed whole and the indigestible
parts, such as bones and fur, are regurgitated in the form of pellets.
When see in the flight, the general impression is of a large white bird. However, the upper parts are a beautiful golden buf color, delicately
marked in varying shades of buf and grey. It is only the face, and undersides that are mostly white.
After choosing a suitable hole in a tree or a ledge in an old building, the female barn owl lays between four and seven eggs in April each year. The
owlets are fully developed after ten weeks and leave the nest after about fourteen weeks, by which time they must be able to survive alone. As many as one
in four young barns owls die within a year for a variety of reasons.
 The number of barn owls in Britain is decreasing. There are now fever habitats where they can find mice, voles, and other prey. In some areas,
owls have been afected by chemicals and cannot lay proper eggs. This means that they cannot breed and increase their numbers. In addition, many birds
have been killed accidentally as they fly across major roads and motorways.

Bananas

Bananas are found in tropical regions of the world where the climate provides plentiful rain and many hours of sunshine for most of
the year. This enables bananas to be grown and picked all year round. The majority of the bananas eaten in the UK are imported from the
Windward islands in the Caribbean.
Banana plants grow from a small root to a height of about three meters. They procedure suckers, one of which is allowed to grow to
full size and bears the fruit. These fruits start by growing downwards before they grow up towards the sun in large bunches. A fully grown
bunch can weigh up to thirty-five kilos, the bananas the bottom being smaller than those nearer the top. As the bunches develop the plants
must be supported by stakes to prevent them from breaking or toppling over.
Bananas are very easily damaged and consequently great are must be taken harvested. They are picked by hand before they are fully
ripe, as they continue to ripen after harvesting. These green bananas are carefully transported to a packing station where they are washed,
treated and labeled so their origin can be traced.
For the ten-day sea voyage the Caribbean to the UK, refrigerated ships are used in which the temperature can be carefully controlled
to prevent the bananas from spooling
Once unloaded at their destination, the green bananas are placed in special ripening centers for up to five days before being delivered
to shops.
Bananas are easily peeled digested, and contain important trace minerals as well as all the benefits of fresh fruits. They provide a
quick, convenient yet healthy energy boots and are consequently popular with athletes and tennis players.
In fact, bananas are the UK’s favorite fruit –we eat more of them each year than any other fruit.
