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.
( O v O )
It's got its eye on you!
"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!
Pre-fried legs 😅
But those eyes 🥹
Lol double breaded for an extra crisp taste.
If you love giant eyes, a hawk owls always satisfies!
He's seen things.
They almost look like they could see a few seconds into the future! 😶
Like the precognition of Evadne Cake?
Maybe.:)
Well, the Northern Boobook was considered to be the same species as the Morepork until 1999.... You may be on to something!
coat of arms, ankh morpork
😯 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.
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... 😦
Definitely worth a rewatch! So many A list actors giving each and every one of those characters the best performance ever
There's so much it can't unsee... 🫢
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!
