The Northern Boobook belongs to the family Strigidae and is a raptorial owl endemic to eastern and southern countries of Asia. The species was considered, until recently, a conspecific of Ninox scutulata or brown boobook, a species of similar distribution encompassing 11 subspecies.

“is that… Is that an ant crawling on my head…?” Poor guy looks terrified ha
I didn’t even know that was there! 😄 I’d only seen this on my phone until now.
Nobody likes bugs on them, no wonder it’s so stunned looking!
Someone probably told them what their common name is.
“I left the oven on.”
This is me when I forget my wallet on the dresser and spend the whole day wondering if I really just forgot it again or if I lost it somewhere. So agonizing!
( O v O )
It’s got its eye on you!
He’s seen things.
They almost look like they could see a few seconds into the future! 😶
Like the precognition of Evadne Cake?
because she tends to reply to a question right before it has been asked. Yet, if she has replied and then the person decides not to ask the question, she gets a terrible headache.
Maybe.:)
Well, the Northern Boobook was considered to be the same species as the Morepork until 1999… You may be on to something!
😯 I didn’t know about the origins of the city’s name. I learned something today.
Yes, yes! The Morepork is New Zealand’s only surviving native owl.
The owl has the sparrow hunting eyes of my black cat, she loves to stalk sparrows and looks just as bigeyed as the boobook.
I don’t see how anything could escape eyes like these!
Pre-fried legs 😅
But those eyes 🥹Lol double breaded for an extra crisp taste.
If you love giant eyes, a hawk owls always satisfies!
Boo book? MFer looks like it’s about to get put into the Boo Box
Oh jeez, I haven’t seen that in forever and do not remember that bit at all! Kid movies were different back in the day… 😦
There’s so much it can’t unsee… 🫢
