What is the tawny owl?
Tawny Owl is a relatively small member of the OWL family. These birds live all over Europe and can also be found in certain areas of Asia. The owls are 15 inches (40 cm) long and their wing is about 3 feet (1 meter). Birds have wide, rounded bodies and most of them have gray feathers with brown spots. Females are significantly larger than men and both sexes have a very significant call.
These birds prefer to live in areas with a lot of trees. They are strictly night, resting during the day and waking up at night. Tawny Owl likes to spend daylight high on trees and especially likes to hide in excavated, rotten tree strains when they can be found.
Tawny Owl can see very well in the dark, and that helps him see prey. These birds eat primarily mice and oxen, but it is not particularly unusual for them to eat insects or small lizards. Their wings allow a silent flight and are often able plunging into their prey without hearing. When they decide, they can make loud sounds with their wingsdeliberately as a way to flush small animals from hiding. Like most other owls, it is known that they are very successful and effective hunters.
As soon as Tawny owls choose a partner mating, both birds generally hold together throughout their lives. Mating usually happens at the end of the winter or early spring and once the eggs are laid, the owls cooperate as a team, and the man brings food and a woman who stays behind to incubate and protect the eggs. The typical clutch is about six eggs and the incubation period is approximately 30 days. Chickens learn to fly after about five weeks, but they are not immediately independent. Their parents continue to bring them food and protect them from threats for about three months.
When Tawny Owls finally comes to the world, life can sometimes be quite difficult for them. Birds are generally territorial, and if the new owl is unable to find their own territory, it is possible to suffer a grim fateEm. Tawny owls have more natural enemies than many other owls. They have to worry about birds of prey, such as domestic cats, as well as other expensive birds. Despite these difficulties, birds have relatively strong population statistics and are currently not considered endangered.
