THE barn owls are here, and they are here to nest and breed, if Assoc Prof Dr Hafidzi Mohd Noor of Universiti Putra Malaysia and his collaborators have their way.

Hafidzi said this after another pair of barn owls was released on Thursday night – the third release in the pilot project by Universiti Sains Malaysia, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ), Department of Wildlife and National Parks (Perhilitan) and SJ Echo.
