Tawny Fish Owl

The Tawny Fish-owl, Bubo flavipes, is a species of owl. It used to be placed in Ketupa with the other fish-owls, but that group is tentatively included with the eagle-owls in Bubo, until the affiliations of the fish-owls and fishing-owls can be resolved more precisely.

The Tawny Fish Owl is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

For the purposes of our bird news services, Tawny Fish Owl is classed as Ungraded: species which are unlikely to appear as wild birds in Britain or Ireland hide section Most recent photos of Tawny Fish Owl (4) Corbett NP, Uttarakhand, India Corbett NP, Uttarakhand, India05/02/2010 Corbett NP, Uttarakhand, India 05/02/2010 Hugaung Tiger Reserve, Myanmar Hugaung Tiger Reserve, Myanmar29/08/2009 Hugaung Tiger Reserve, Myanmar 29/08/2009 Kumaria, Uttarakhand, India Kumaria, Uttarakhand, More

The biggest owl in Taiwan, the tawny fish owl is a nocturnal bird that eats fish (not tawny fish) as its main diet. Currently, we don’t know anything about the myriad hoots these birds make. The forests in which it lives are almost all destroyed, and the waters where its prey reside are either dammed up or filled with toxic wastes, making it extremely hard for the tawny fish owl to survive in the wild.
