This owl is not threatened, though an increase in deforestation on the islands has led to the population size slowly declining.

It is a nocturnal owl that feeds at night and has a nesting season from February to April.

The owl notably also can have bright yellow irises that could also occur in brown or hazel.

[5] They also make a sound like “curroo” where they resemble a human rolling their “r.” [4] This is a nocturnal animal that hunts at night.

A rise of habitat destruction on the Islands has caused some worries about the future of the owl, but as of the last assessment date, the population numbers are healthy.

Though there is no official population size recorded, the owl has tolerated habitat destruction well.
