What is the masked owl?
masked owl, scientific name these novaehollandiae , is a medium brownish colored owl. The flattened front of the face, or facial disk, is clearly outlined in a darker feathers, giving it a mask similar to the appearance. The population of this owl, originally from Australia, decreases due to the loss of habitat. Like most owls, the masked Owl is a night, ie hunting at night and resting during the day. The nests are usually built in hollow trees and the reproduction period is from spring to late autumn. The color is a number of brown shades. The face disc is a light brown or cream color with dark shaded rings around the eyes surrounded by a darker brown border; It gives an OWL look to wear a mask. The back and wings are different shades of brown in spotted pattuern, with lighter shades dominating the underside. Females are often darker colored than men and young owls are usually light colors everywhere.
native area of masked owl is ODEcne in Australia, but most often up to 186 miles (300 km) from the coast on the west side. They live in a number of stations, including forests, forests and open areas with high trees nearby. However, the masked owl decreases due to the loss of its habitat. Many of the high ripe trees, especially hollow, where these owls nest, are limited to create space for development. Cleaning large parts of the soil also means that there are fewer trees with the potential in the future to become suitable nesting places in the future.
Like most OWL species, the masked owl is of a night's nature and is rarely observed by humans. They have a carnivorous diet consisting of small mammals rabbits and rodents, birds and reptiles. They do most of their hunting at the beginning of the night by listening to prey from the trees and then throwing themselves into killing. The reproduction season is from April to November and the OWL pairs build their nests in the cavities of ripe trees. The woman lays two to three eggs and incubates them while the man provides food; After the infants hatch, they remainNou in the nest, which are fed and cared for both parents for several months.
