The little owl is known for its powerful talons, hooked beak, and soft wing feathers, which allow it to fly silently and strike prey with lightning speed. Its exceptional night vision can detect even the faintest light, while its muted grey-brown plumage provides effective camouflage in the dark. Nesting typically begins early in the season, usually in March. A female usually lays 4 to 6 eggs, sometimes up to 7 or 9. The bird measures 20 to 24 centimeters in length and weighs between 185 and 270 grams.
