Baby bird in a barn (5)

I believe the answer is:

owlet

(Other definitions for owlet that I've seen before include "Young nocturnal hunting bird" , "Offspring of the wise one?" , "Baby nocturnal raptor" , "Wise young" , "Small bird of prey from Africa and Asia" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
