About These Birds
Uhu
Der Uhu gehört zu den größten Eulenarten der Welt; Weibchen erreichen mitunter eine Flügelspannweite von fast zwei Metern. Sein tiefer, dröhnender Ruf ist in ruhigen Nächten bis zu vier Kilometer weit zu hören. Als Spitzenprädator steht der Uhu an der Spitze der Nahrungskette unter den Vögeln und erbeutet auch andere Greifvögel wie Bussarde und kleinere Eulen.
Biak Scops-owl
The Biak Scops-owl is a near-threatened small owl endemic to Biak Island in West Papua, Indonesia. It has cryptic brown-mottled plumage with small ear tufts typical of scops-owls. It inhabits lowland and hill forests, hunting insects and small vertebrates at night, and its very restricted range makes it sensitive to habitat changes.
