Living habits

Leading owls inhabit broad-leaved forests and mixed forests in mountainous areas, and also appear in forests near foothills and villages. Except in pairs during the breeding season, they usually act alone. During the day, I hide in the dense branches and leaves of trees, and at night, I start to move and sing. The singing voice is low, and it is a single tone of "no, no, no, no", which is often repeated 4- 15 times continuously. Flight is light and silent. Will stand in a conspicuous place, curious and not afraid of people. They mainly feed on rodents, beetles, locusts and COLEOPTERA insects. Raw meat must have bones, otherwise it is easy to be untenable because of calcium deficiency.
