abstract
  • The Rufous owl (Ninox rufa), also known as the rufous boobook, is a species of boobook in the Strigidae family. It was described in 1846 by John Gould, an English ornithologist. Its common name reflects the rufous-colored feathers that these owls are covered with in adulthood. While it is uncommon, the species has a wide range, including Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. The rufous owl is a large owl species, ranging in weight from 700 to 1,700 g (25 to 60 oz), depending on gender and age. It is only slightly smaller than the largest owl in Australia, the powerful owl (Ninox strenua), which typically weighs between 1,050 and 1,700 g (37 and 60 oz). The rufous owl is a generalist nocturnal predator and generally solitary. It is seldom aggressive to humans except in situations in which it feels its nest or offspring are threatened.
