Spectacled owls are cavity nesters, seeking out holes in trees to nest.
Clutch size is normally two white eggs, with incubation lasting about 36 days. Approximately six to eight weeks after they hatch, fledglings are ready to take their first flight. Both parents continue to take care of their young after they leave the nest. In captivity, juveniles have taken up to five years to acquire adult plumage. It is likely that young assume adult plumage sooner in the wild.
