Collared Owlet in India

This is Asia’s smallest owl at around 6.25 in /16 cm.

I’ve seen comments that it calls in all directions, making it a difficult owl to locate by sounds. Here is a video of it hooting all around. It’s a pretty cute sound.

    If a Pixar owl came to life…

    Though that hoot sounds like that time I got my nephew and niece a train whistle as a souvenir (there’s a historic train that runs along the WI side of the St Croix. Nice scenic ride on an old train.)(yeah, their parents made sure to “lose” the train whistles real quick……)

      Can’t think of any other reason they’d be that size. 😁
