the brown boobook, also known as the brown hawk-owl, is an owl species distributed throughout southern asia. they are often referred to as hawk-owls due to their shape - they have long, hawklike tails and lack the distinctive facial disk of most owls. like other owl species, they are nocturnal; however, they may be occasionally seen during the day, particularly as smaller birds tend to mob them while they roost. they feed on large insects, small reptiles, birds, and other prey. the brown boobook lays 3-5 eggs in a cavity nest, like most other owls; the cavity is made by another species or from a natural tree formation. the sexes are identical in plumage; both possess notable orange-yellow eyes.

#2705 - Ninox novaeseelandiae - Morepork

AKA boobook, mopoke or ruru.

First described by Johann Friedrich Gmelin in 1788, but considered the same species as the Southern Boobook (N. boobook) of Australia until 1999, and the same as the Tasmanian boobook (N. leucopsis) until 2022.

A smallish, brown owl species endemic to New Zealand, Norfolk Island, and formerly on Lord Howe Island. Of the three subspecies one is extinct and another now exists only as a hybrid population.

The diet is mostly large insects and spiders.
