About These Birds
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.
African Wood-owl
The African Wood-owl is a medium-sized owl with a wingspan of about 51 cm and a weight near 322 g. It inhabits dense forests and wooded areas across Africa, hunting small vertebrates and large insects at night and delivering a distinctive hooting call from concealed roost sites.
