The little owl is a small owl inhabiting most parts of India. This is a sedentary species which is found in open country-side in a great range of habitats. If they are living in an area with a large amount of human activity, little owls may grow used to humans and will remain on their perch, often in full view, while people are around. It feeds on prey such as insects and earthworms, as well as small vertebrates including amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
