George, our Spotted Eagle Owl is sitting in our garden again this morning looking very serious. * Diet: Invertebrates, small mammals, birds insects, frogs and small reptiles. * Socialisation: Spotted Eagle owls are monogamous birds breeding with one partner for life. They are a nocturnal species and emerge at dusk from its daytime roost to start hunting. * Communication: Song is normally 1 or 2 double hoots, followed by a 3 syllable hoot and then 1 long drawn out hoot hoo-hoo buhoohoo-hooo. * Reproduction: From July to February two to four eggs are laid in a scrape on the ground, normally sheltered by a bush, grass or rocks. Incubation lasts for 32 days. Young leave the nest by about 5 weeks and are fledged by 7 weeks, but remain with parents for at least another 5 weeks.
