owlet

The endearing symbol of the museum is Spooky, patterned after a great horned owl that was donated to the organization as an 'owlet' in 1951 and which lived to the age of 38 years.

In India, our most familiar owl is the spotted 'owlet' , a regular inhabitant of large trees in gardens and parks and avenues, even in big cities.

Orange headed thrush, Indian Pitta and resident birds such as oriole, spotted 'owlet' and hoopoe can be sighted on this campus.

For few seconds I just lost my senses… but was able to make out a spotted 'owlet' sitting.

Noctuid, 'owlet' , and cutworm (Noctuidae) moths are also stout-bodied. Their fore wings are narrow, and their hind wings are fan-shaped.

In a peak year for hares, the hares edged out the voles as a source of meat for both adult owls and their 'owlets' .

The female broods the young for 2-3 weeks after they hatch, while the male brings food to the female and the 'owlets' .

When the 'owlets' fledge, they exercise their new ability to fly by leaving the immediate nest area, but the parents continue to supply them with food for a few more weeks.

Young 'owlets' venture out of the nest onto nearby branches at about three weeks, and begin taking short flights at about five weeks.

At dusk, the spotted 'owlets' in the cracked-up jackfruit and mango trees would be calling querulously, bobbing their heads and glaring at you out of great golden eyes.

Referring to the flood-lights that will be invariably used during musical programmes, he added that apart from disorienting nocturnal birds like night herons and spotted 'owlets' , the birds would be made vulnerable to predators.

Most species are robust moths with long usually brownish wings, which have given them the common name of Owlet Moths. Some 'owlets' have a different appearance, such as the Fan-feet and the Snouts.
