Spotted Owlet

The Spotted Owlet is a small owl species found throughout India and parts of Southeast Asia. They have brown and white spotted feathers, a round head with yellow eyes, and distinctive ear tufts. These owls are nocturnal and feed on insects, small mammals, and birds. They nest in tree cavities, buildings, and even in termite mounds. Despite their small size, the Spotted Owlet has a loud call and can be heard at night or during mating season. They are an important part of their ecosystem and play a role in controlling pest populations.
