The Brown Fish Owl of southeast Asia is similar in appearance to the familiar Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus), its closest relative in North America. Both species are characterized by large size, cryptic coloration and prominent ear tufts. The Brown Fish Owl (50-57 cm, 1100 g) is mottled in brown and buff on the back, head and wings with buffy-white streaked underparts. Their white throats visibly inflate when they produce the deep, booming "hoom-hoom" calls of their duets. More

It lays one or two eggs, often in the old stick nest of other birds, or in a rock crevice. Incubation is up to 38 days, and the young fledge after about 7 weeks. The Brown Fish Owl is a large (55cm) owl. More

The Brown Fish Owl, Bubo zeylonensis or Ketupa zeylonensis, is an owl. This species is a part of the family known as typical owls, Strigidae, which contains most species of owl. The Brown Fish Owl and three related species were previously placed in the genus Ketupa; mtDNA cytochrome b sequence data is equivocal on which genus name is applied for this species (Olsen et al. 2002). This is a large (55cm) owl. The upperparts are reddish brown, heavily streaked with black or dark brown. More

fans!The Brown Fish Owl has a fierce and frowning look and is not regal like an Eagle Owl but still appealing - a lovable rogue!

We tried to pick an owl that looked as much like his Blackadder character as possible but have a look at the photo comparison and see what you think!
