The snowy owl is a patient hunter that perches and waits to identify its prey before soaring off in pursuit. Snowy owls have keen eyesight and great hearing, which can help them find prey that is invisible under thick vegetation or snow cover. The owls deftly snatch their quarry with their sharp talons.
A snowy owl's preferred meal is lemmings—many lemmings. An adult may eat more than 1,600 lemmings a year, or three to five every day. The birds supplement their diet with rabbits, rodents, birds, and fish.

Ik kon er een paar krijgen toen ik nog op de boerderij woonde. Maar volgens mij heb je een vergunning nodig. Ik heb het ook niet gedaan want ze hebben aardig wat ruimte nodig
