About These Birds

Arabian Eagle-owl

The Arabian Eagle-owl is a large owl endemic to the Arabian Peninsula, placed in the Strigidae family alongside other eagle-owls. It inhabits rocky desert terrain, wadis, and escarpments where it hunts mammals and birds under cover of darkness. This species is distinguished from related eagle-owls by its adaptation to the harsh arid landscapes of the region.

Eurasian Eagle-Owl

The Eurasian eagle-owl is one of the largest owl species in the world, with females sometimes reaching a wingspan of nearly two meters. Its deep booming call can be heard up to four kilometers away on calm nights. These apex predators sit at the top of the avian food chain, preying on other raptors including buzzards and smaller owls.
