The ural owl<\/h1><\/div>

Strix uralensis<\/h2><\/div>

The ural owl is a bird that very eagerly leaves its nest. In the winter, you can hear the male\u2019s territorial call, \u201cwo-ho\u2026.. woho uhwo-ho\u201d. Another sound the ural owl makes is the yapping bau \u2013 wau call, which is delivered by both sexes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

About<\/h3><\/div>

During winter, the characteristic hooting of the Ural owl can often be heard \u2014 a barking-like sound that is sometimes mistaken for a dog. The Ural owl is grey, brown, and beige with dark streaks on its chest and belly. It resembles the tawny owl but can be distinguished by its dark eyes and yellow beak.<\/p>\n

This owl has a wingspan of up to 124 cm and feeds mainly on small rodents such as field mice and voles, but also on frogs, shrews, and birds. Ural owls live in pairs, with the female incubating the eggs alone. A clutch contains 1\u20136 eggs, and the young leave the nest before they are able to fly \u2014 at around 4\u20135 weeks of age.<\/p>\n<\/div>
