the eurasian eagle-owl ( bubo bubo ) is a species of eagle-owl that resides in much of eurasia .

it is also called the european eagle-owl and in europe , where it is the only member of its genus besides the snowy owl ( b. scandiacus ) , it is occasionally abbreviated to just eagle-owl .

it is one of the largest species of owl , and females can grow to a total length of 75 cm ( 30 in ) , with a wingspan of 188 cm ( 6 ft 2 in ) , males being slightly smaller .

this bird has distinctive ear tufts , with upper parts that are mottled with darker blackish colouring and tawny .

the wings and tail are barred .

the underparts are a variably hued buff , streaked with darker colour .

the facial disc is poorly developed and the orange eyes are distinctive .

besides being one of the largest living species of owl , it is also one of the most widely distributed .

the eurasian eagle-owl is found in many habitats but is mostly a bird of mountain regions , coniferous forests , steppes and other relatively remote places .

it is a mostly nocturnal predator , hunting for a range of different prey species , predominantly small mammals but also birds of varying sizes , reptiles , amphibians , fish , large insects and other assorted invertebrates .

it typically breeds on cliff ledges , in gullies , among rocks or in other concealed locations .

the nest is a scrape in which averages of two eggs are laid at intervals .

these hatch at different times .

the female incubates the eggs and broods the young , and the male provides food for her and when they hatch , for the nestlings as well .

continuing parental care for the young is provided by both adults for about five months .

there are at least a dozen subspecies of eurasian eagle-owl .

with a total range in europe and asia of about 32 million square kilometres ( 12 million square miles ) and a total population estimated to be between 250 thousand and 2.5 million , the iucn lists the bird 's conservation status as being of " least concern " .

the vast majority of eagle-owls live in mainland europe , russia and central asia , and an estimated number of between 12 and 40 pairs are thought to reside in the united kingdom as of 2016 , a number which may be on the rise .

tame eagle-owls have occasionally been used in pest control because of their size to deter large birds such as gulls from nesting .

as an apex predator , the eurasian eagle owl has no natural predators . even the golden eagle , with whom the eagle owl shares both range and food preferences , is seldom in direct conflict with the owls , thanks to the birds hunting at different times of day ( the golden eagle in daytime , the eagle owl at night ) . a lifespan of 20 years in the wild isn ' t uncommon for eurasian eagle owls ; birds in zoological care have been known to live as long as 60 years .

the turkmenian eagle owl is a sub species of the eurasian eagle owl . they are one of the largest species of owl in the world , and have a distinctive appearance with prominent ‘ear tufts’ on the tops of their heads which all members of the eagle owl family have . this sub species originated from turkmenistan , although they are now extinct in that range and are instead found throughout parts of russia , kazakhstan , and mongolia .
a : opinions differ on this question . general consensus points towards the eurasian eagle owl , which is the largest in weight and average length . some sources say it is the great grey owl , as some individuals can have quite a big overall length . it should be noted that much of the bulk of the great grey owl is due to its generous plumage . also worth a mention is the little known blakiston ' s fish owl which has unpublished average and maximum weights exceeding the eurasian eagle owl .
eurasian eagle owls are likely the largest species of owl in the world . great grey owls ( strix nebulosa ) are slightly longer in the body , and blakiston ' s fish owls ( bubo blakistoni ) weigh a little more , but only the eurasian eagle owl boasts a six - and - a - half - foot wingspan . its conspicuous ear tufts are reminiscent of north america ' s great horned owl ( bubo virginianus ) , but the eagle owl ' s orange eyes and great size make it distinctive .
there are no fewer than 13 subspecies of the eurasian , which is a member of the strigidae ( true owl ) family .
the turkmenian eagle owl is not a threatened species , but it is uncommon throughout its range , as is the eurasian eagle owl family as a whole . however this sub species originated in turkmenistan , where it is now locally extinct , instead thriving in other regions . numbers of eurasian eagle owls have declined over the 20 th century , and although more stable now , are not as high as they previously were .
the eurasian eagle owl ( bubo bubo ) is arguably the heaviest owl in the world ; followed by the equal - sized or slightly smaller blakiston ' s fish owl . the eagle owl is smaller than the golden eagle , but nearly twice the size of the snowy owl . its wingspan reaches up to 7 feet ( 2 . 1 meters ) . its weight can go up to 10 lbs ( 4 . 5 kg ) ; compared to the common barn owl , which weighs about 1 . 1 lbs ( 0 . 5 kg ) .

facts about turkmenian eagle owls the turkmenian eagle owl ( bubo bubo turcomanus ) is a large , member of the eurasian eagle owl species . with ear tuffs as usual but a paler cream and brown colour than the european eurasian ( see wally ) the turkmenian’s range covers kazakhstan to west mongolia . in the wild they would populate rocky and mountainous regions as well as open forestry although occasionally found in semi desert regions . this species are large birds ranging from around 58cm to 72cm and weigh from 1 . 5kg up to 3 . 8kg approx . bailey we believe to be female due to the size and weight
little detailed information is available on asian populations of this species ( 2 ) . conservation measures recommended for the eurasian eagle - owl include protecting its habitat from development and extensive logging , as well as action to prevent collisions with powerlines ( 19 ) ( 20 ) .

the eurasian eagle - owl is a highly skilled flier , and one that skims through the air using long , quick glides and shallow wing beats . these highly territorial birds are fearsome and highly effective hunters . as a so called “top predator” , the eurasian eagle - owl faces few , if any , threats from other predatory animals , as it sits upon the upper tier of the food chain . these birds are mostly active at night , preferring to sleep during the daylight hours . eurasian eagle - owls are also for their ability to make an array of vocal sounds , which are used for communicating such information to others as territorial claims and searching for a mate . these birds are sometimes tamed by humans and trained to control pest infestations .
during the first half of the 1900s , eurasian eagle - owl populations declined drastically . humans hunted and poisoned them and , as you can imagine , they had a hard time surviving . happily , local governments have begun to increase their protection of these owls , and some reintroduction programs have taken place . thanks to these efforts , the eurasian eagle - owl is recovering in europe although their numbers still haven ' t returned to what they were before the mid - 1900s . electrocution and collisions with cars continue to be a problem for this extraordinary raptor .

with wings that can span up to six feet , the eurasian eagle owl is one of the largest owls in the world . its powerful yet silent wings enable this night hunter to stealthily swoop down and scoop up prey . they can even catch other birds in mid - air .
eurasian eagle - owl is territorial , but the closest territories may partially overlap without any problem . often pairs remain together for life . when the breeding season starts , the male suggests some nesting places to the female , while scraping for shallow depression and uttering clucking and staccato sounds .
in terms of its diet , the eurasian eagle - owl typically feeds on an array of small animals , including such creatures as rabbits , rodents , birds , insects , fish , amphibians , and reptiles . these ever watchful and powerful birds prefer to hunt during the dark , nighttime hours , and search out their prey while resting on perches or flying at a low altitude . the eurasian eagle - owl is gifted with both acute eyesight and excellent hearing abilities , which combine to enable the bird to effectively find and catch its prey . its innate and perceptive sense of sound is attuned to pick up on even the slightest sound . this natural trait inadvertently serves to aid the eurasian eagle - owl in its never ending hunt for food by serving to reveal the precise location of any animal the bird deems to be fitting for its next meal .
the eurasian eagle - owl underwent a significant decline in europe during the 20th century , due mainly to human persecution ( 2 ) ( 13 ) ( 16 ) . pesticide use and poisoning from mercury seed - dressings have also been a problem , as have collisions with vehicles , barbed wire ( 2 ) and powerlines ( 18 ) ( 19 ) ( 20 ) . in addition , diseases such as myxomatosis and rabbit haemorrhagic disease have decimated rabbit populations in some areas , with severe knock - on effects for the eurasian eagle - owl ( 2 ) ( 21 ) .
eurasian eagle - owls can be found throughout much of europe and asia , as well as some far northern parts of africa near the mediterranean coast . these birds make their homes in areas where food is most plentiful . they’re suited to living in a wide variety of terrains , including forests , isolated farmlands , and landscapes featuring high cliffs upon which the birds can safely perch while hunting for the prey animals that wander on the grassy areas below . habitats for the eurasian eagle - owl can range from rocky mountainous areas to water - logged marshlands . eurasian eagle - owls can also be found in some of the world’s most treacherous mountain ranges , including the asian himalayas , the alps of europe , and the tibetan plateau . the international union for the conservation of nature ' s most recent red list of threatened species , working in collaboration with birdlife international , classifies eurasian eagle - owls as a species of
least concern
, considering their large populations and the massive geographical range of their diaspora . still , these birds face threats from human activities , such as hunting and accidents involving automobile traffic . many countries have implemented measures to protect and increase their respective eurasian eagle - owl populations .

the nests of eurasian eagle - owls are usually located on rocky ledges or in caves , as well as in cracks along mountainous cliffs . after the female lays her eggs , she spends the majority of her time incubating them , while her male partner is responsible for finding food . once they break free of their eggs , baby eurasian eagle - owls begin opening their eyes after a period of several days . they grow rapidly thereafter , and during that time it’s important for both of parents to work hard to ensure that their young ones are sufficiently fed so that they can become healthy and strong . eurasian eagle - owls reach maturity at about two to three years of age . in the wild , eurasian eagle - owls can live for approximately 20 years , which becomes even longer when kept in captivity and looked after well .

in contrast , those who are concerned about the possible impacts of the eurasian on britain ' s wildlife , argue that there is no evidence that the eurasian is naturally occurring here , and the birds are thought to have been previously kept in captivity .
the eurasian eagle - owl has one of the largest ranges of any eagle - owl ( 6 ) , being found across much of europe , through the middle east , russia and asia , and as far east as china , korea and japan ( 2 ) ( 5 ) ( 11 ) ( 13 ) . although this species is generally absent from britain and ireland ( 11 ) , small numbers are now beginning to breed in britain ( 14 ) .

the eurasian eagle - owl’s ‘facial disc’ , the flat or concave arrangement of feathers on the face which is typical of owls , is greyish ( 2 ) ( 5 ) , and is less developed than in many other owl species ( 6 ) . the beak is black , and the legs and large , powerful toes are covered with buffy - white feathers ( 2 ) .
in one particularly detailed study of eagle owl diet , partridges accounted for 8 . 4 % of items and pheasants for 2 % , with potential egg predators accounting for over 31 % of items . the most important egg predator , the hooded / carrion crow , features in eagle owl diets more than twice as often as in goshawk diets .

the wings of an owl are finely serrated so that they can fly silently . this is to allow the owl to approach its prey silently without it hearing it first , and so that they owl itself can hear its prey over its own sounds .

eurasian eagle - owls combine fast and powerful flights with shallow wing beats and long , fast glides . they also soar on updrafts , displaying a type of flight similar to that of soaring hawks like the red - tailed hawk .
the eurasian eagle owls ( bubo bubo ) are horned owls found in much of europe and asia , where they occur in the mountains and forests with cliffs and rocky areas . they are usually most active at dawn and dusk .

in britain , the eurasian eagle - owl has commonly been kept in captivity , but escapes and releases have occurred ( 25 ) . although it is difficult to prove with certainty , wild individuals are thought to have come from released birds rather than ones that have reached the country naturally from mainland europe ( 26 ) . there are fears that if the population of eurasian eagle - owls in britain grows then some native birds , including vulnerable birds of prey , could be at risk of increased predation by this species ( 25 ) ( 26 ) .
at our world center for birds of prey in boise , idaho , we have a eurasian eagle - owl named wally that helps educate visitors about his species and owls in general . he is a big star in our fall flight shows and is on display year - round in our visitor center . he loves visitors !
the trust ' s view is that no one complains about the little owl , which is an introduction to britain , while the return of the white tailed eagle and the red kite is celebrated .
we suggest that the opposition to the eagle owl is perhaps down to its size and expertise as a predator rather than being based on scientific fact or logic .
in 2010 an eagle owl was caught on film predating a hen harrier . other species of conservation concern they are known to predate include pine martens , capercaillie , and various raptors and owls
some eagle owls may specialise in killing raptors ; one pair in norway was reported to have killed 13 raptors and owls in one nesting season . in germany , where the eagle owl has recolonised there is clear evidence of substantive adverse effects on the breeding success of goshawks and buzzards .
. . . obuch ( 2014 ) reported multiple lizard species ( agamidae and lacertidae ) in eagle owl pellets from iran . our finding that hedgehogs constituted a significant part of the eagle owl diet is shared with most studies on this owl ' s diet , both within the middle east ( shehab 2004 ) and elsewhere ( marchesi et al . 2002 ; de cupere et al . 2009 ) . our data show increasing dependence on black rats in the diet . . . .
around september to november the young owls will leave the nest . the lifespan of the eurasian eagle owl varies considerably depending upon whether it is kept in captivity , or in the wild . in it ' s natural habitat life expectancy is around 20 years , in stark contrast to captive owls who can live for up to sixty years .

it has been recommended that the potential impact of this large owl on native british wildlife be assessed ( 14 ) and that its behaviour , diet and population should be monitored ( 26 ) . the eurasian eagle - owl is listed under schedule 9 to the wildlife and countryside act 1981 with respect to england and wales , making it an offence to release this species into the wild or to allow it to escape ( 25 ) .
considered to be one of the largest owls in the world , the eurasian eagle - owl ( bubo bubo ) is an impressive and majestic bird , with distinctive , prominent ear - tufts , a barrel - shaped body , and vivid orange eyes . the eurasian eagle - owl’s plumage is buffy - brown and heavily mottled and streaked with black , with paler underparts and fine barring on the belly and flanks . the wings and tail are marked with dark bars . the throat is white ( 2 ) ( 4 ) ( 5 ) ( 6 ) and is used in intraspecific communication , as a visual signal associated with vocal displays ( 7 ) ( 8 ) ( 9 ) .
there are numerous points in this article which i think are very questionable . to take just one point the world owl trust are said to have put forward “reliable sightings ( and photographic evidence ) of eagle owls resting on north sea oil platforms” . i am not aware of any such records , nor do the north sea bird club have any . there is a video on youtube which claims to show an eagle owl on a north sea oil platform but which actually shows a long - eared owl .
mortality : eurasian eagle owls may live more than 60 years in captivity . in the wild , about 20 years may be the maximum . they have no real natural enemies ; electrocution , collision with traffic , and shooting are the main causes of death .

until recently , it was believed that the eagle owl was all but absent from the uk , and had not occurred here naturally since the last ice age more than 10 , 000 years ago . that is , until the european eagle was discovered in the forest of bowland wells , lancashire , northern england .
the great black - headed gull is one of the species to which the agreement on the conservation of african - eurasian migratory waterbirds ( aewa ) applies .
usually most active at dawn and dusk ( 2 ) ( 4 ) , the eurasian eagle - owl has a powerful , fast flight , which is somewhat reminiscent of that of a buzzard ( buteo buteo ) ( 2 ) ( 4 ) ( 16 ) . hunting occurs from an open perch or in flight , and the owl may also search rock crevices for roosting birds , take both adult and young birds from nests , or even plunge into water to capture fish ( 2 ) ( 16 ) . the diet of the eurasian eagle - owl mainly consists of mammals , up to the size of adult hares or even young deer , as well as birds up to the size of herons and buzzards , and occasionally amphibians , reptiles , fish and insects ( 2 ) ( 5 ) ( 6 ) ( 16 ) .

eurasian eagle - owls are not picky eaters . they mainly eat small mammals such as voles , rats , and rabbits but also hunt woodpeckers , herons , and other birds , including other raptors . they also prey on amphibians , reptiles , fish , and insects .
unlike other birds , owls ' eyes are set forward which greatly enhances depth perception , but doesn ' t allow the owl to rotate its eyes in order to change view . but just like other birds the eurasian needs a wide visual range in order to detect predators and prey . for this reason , owls including the eurasian have particularly flexible necks , which means they can literally rotate their heads 270 degrees either way .
during the last century the eurasian was very much in decline , due to human persecution , road traffic accidents , power lines , barbed wire , toxic mercury seed dressings and pesticide use . myxomatosis and rabbit haemorrhagic disease have significantly reduced rabbit populations in some regions , which has also had detrimental effects on the eurasian population .
voice : sounds by xeno - canto eurasian eagle - owl utters deep and monotonous « oohu - oohu - oohu » repeated every 10 seconds as territorial call . the female’s call is slightly higher - pitched and more raucous than male’s . both mates perform duets during courtship displays . when alarmed and threatened , they may “bark” and grunt , and give harsh “ka ka kau” .
flight : during the breeding season , the eurasian eagle - owl rises into the sky at dusk and soars at good height . it has agile and silent flight in spite of its large size , comfortable on its large wings , with head and short tail well separated from the body . it often appears as a ghost while flying before the moon or in some light .
although it possible for a trained eagle owl to kill a fox this would not be a normal prey . in the wild a less risky catch and more attractive and tasty meal would be a rabbit or rat .

least some of the eagle owls currently inhabiting britain could have occurred naturally . the world owl trust also highlight a wealth of data that appears to suggest wild eagle owls have existed ( and still exist ) in the uk . among this ; perhaps the most persuasive argument put forth is the presence of b . bubo in the fossil record – something which suggests that the eagle owl did indeed inhabit the uk before eventually succumbing to extinction . in a 2007 study published in british birds , john stewart concluded , following a review of the archaeological records , that “eagle owls form a natural part of britain’s fauna” . this paper is freely available online .
. . . this could explain why we found no inter - annual variations in eurasian eagle owl survival . the survival of eurasian eagle owls in alpine and northern latitudes has previously been estimated from the recovery of owls marked as nestlings ( olsson 1997 ) and using a bayesian - integrated population model com - bining different data sets ( schaub et al . 2010 ) . in contrast to our results ( models including age were not well sup - ported ) , these studies pointed to a variation in survival that depended on age - class , and similar results have been found in other long - lived species ( e . g . . . .
eurasian eagle - owls are mostly nocturnal , or active at night . they spend their days roosting , or resting , in a safe perch . if they spend too much time on the ground , even these top predators may fall prey to opportunistic ground predators like foxes .
eurasian eagle - owls seem to do well in most types of habitat if there are available nesting spots and adequate prey . these large , beautiful owls have even been documented living in city parks . one owl showed up at the helsinki olympic stadium in finland . this potential fan spent time hanging out on the goal post , causing the game to be postponed for several minutes !
diet : the eurasian eagle - owl feeds on all moving animals , from beetles to fawns . the most part of its diet includes mammals such as voles , rats , mice , foxes and hares , but also birds of all species , crows , waterfowls , seabirds , and even other raptors’ species . it also may consume snakes , lizards , amphibians , fishes and crustaceans .

owls are an order of birds of prey with about 200 species [ 8 ] . owl species vary in size over a huge range . the smallest owl is the pygmy owl ( glaucidium passerinum , weight : 42 g , length : 150–190 mm [ 9 ] ) . the largest owl is the eagle owl ( bubo bubo , weight : up to 4200 g , length : 580–710 mm [ 9 ] ( see wing in fig 2 , see also s1 table ) ) . we reasoned that this range should be large enough to see an effect of size . thus , our first hypothesis was that the size of an owl species might have an influence on the morphology of the serrations . moreover , the different owl species occupy a huge variety of ecological niches , and may live in deserts , woods as well as in the tundra . some of the owl species are strictly nocturnal , like the boreal owl ( aegolius funereus ) , while other owl species are more diurnal , like the little owl ( athene noctua ) . the more diurnal owls do not have such highly developed adaptations to hunting by listening as the nocturnal owls do [ 10 – 12 ] . since a silent flight plays a less important role during hunting in diurnal owls , we further hypothesized that the development of serrations may depend on the activity pattern of an owl species with nocturnal owls have more developed serrations than diurnal owls .
silent flight gives owls the ability to capture prey by stealth , and also allows the owl to use its hearing to locate potential prey . this adaptation is not present on some owl species that hunt in the daytime .
during sleep the tufts are lowered which alters the shape of the head , this assists the eurasian to take up the shape and contours of the bark on nearby trees .

whilst the outline about these predators is basically correct they do predate heavily on other owls . this has been found to be the case in many studies . our native owl population is not in a strong position especially the barn owl . whilst there are few in number at the moment the eagle owl could become a problem if they find other owls hunting at night an easy target . tawny , little owl & barn owls could be in trouble . often problems caused by reintroduction of species that no longer are part of our ecology are only found out too late .
short book review & synopsis : ' the barn owl : guardian of the countryside ' by jeff r . martin
with the exception of the barn owl , molting of wing feathers is from the inside out . barn owl wing feathers are replaced from the middle of the wing out ( in both directions ) . tail feathers also drop out a few at a time , except in some smaller owl species , who loose all the tail feathers at once .

between one and five eggs are laid , and are incubated by the female for 34 to 36 days , during which time the male brings food to the nest . the young eurasian eagle - owls first leave the nest at around five weeks old , but cannot fly until about seven weeks , and remain dependent on the adults for a further three to four months ( 2 ) ( 5 ) ( 16 ) , not generally starting to disperse until they are approximately 170 days old ( 17 ) the eurasian eagle - owl reaches sexually maturity at 1 year ( 15 ) , and may live up to 21 years or more in the wild , or to an impressive 60 years in captivity ( 2 ) .

the evidence at present shows that the eagle owl is posing a minimal threat to the bird community in general . this includes our game bird population as described in your article . obviously this could change if the owl were to be present in greater numbers ( although this increase appears unlikely in the foreseeable future ) . i say give this magnificent owl the opportunity to co - exist with us at present it may help with the control of other far more damaging predators .
this owl usually inhabits natural rocky areas with cliffs and ravines , as well as quarries and buildings , patches of woodland or scattered trees . it also occurs in open forest , taiga , wooded steppe , semi - desert , and farmland with suitable rocky areas ( 2 ) ( 4 ) ( 5 ) ( 11 ) . the eurasian eagle - owl and can be found at elevations of up to about 2 , 000 metres in europe and 4 , 500 metres in central asia and the himalayas ( 2 ) ( 11 ) .
