Barred Eagle-Owl or Malay Eagle Owl

Description:

The Eagle owls are the largest of owls but within that group the barred eagle owl is on the smaller side. It does have prominent ear tufts and large powerful talons, trademarks of the eagle owls. If fact, the Malay Eagle owl's large, sideways pointing ear tufts and dark brown eyes are its most recognizable features. It also has barred coloration and a light-colored breast and undersides. The owls usually mate for life and the females use the same nest location every year and lays only one egg each time. — at Bird Park ,Kuala Lumpur ,Malaysia .
