Largest owls in the world

Oehoeoeoe! Do you hear me? My call is striking, but I have good camouflage. The largest owls in the world belong to the eagle owls. I have beautiful orange eyes. The more you go northeast in my habitat, the lighter in color the eagle owls are and also the bigger they can get.

Copycats

My female is bigger than me. We form a couple all our lives together, but are only together during the breeding season. The more food there is in the area, the more eggs we lay. Owl chicks learn everything from their mother, because the first animal they see when they hatch they imitate. If I had seen you first, I would have thought I was a human too!
