The diet of the Eastern Barn Owl 'Tylo javanica' was determined by analysis of 46 pellets from a roost in Diamantina National Park, Queensland, collected in June 2007. The diet comprised 43% mammals (31% dasyurids, 12% rodents), 8% birds, 1% lizards and 48% insects, by number; and 72% mammals (44% dasyurids, 28% rodents), 22% birds, 1% lizards and 5% insects, by biomass. Mammals occurred in 39 pellets (85%), birds in nine (20%), lizards in two (4%) and insects in 21 (46%).
