Here's the thing, the first instinct of most wildlife is to run when pressed. If they are able to flee, they will. If you prevent them from fleeing, or act aggressively with them too quickly for them to run, they are likely to attack. Your best course of action is to be a good guest, don't be aggressive, and just leave them alone. Barn owls perform an important service; they keep the rodent population down. Let him do his job.
Enemies of barn owls include hawks, eagles, and humans. Snakes also prey on young owls and unhatched eggs which are left unattended.
