Fulvous Owl Strix fulvescens
Version: 1.0 — Published November 7, 2014
Behavior
Introduction
Fulvous Owl primarily is nocturnal, although sometimes calls during the day (Gómez de Silva 1999). There is very little information on the behavior of this species, although no doubt most aspects of its behavior are similar to those of congeners. Fulvous Owl hunts from a perch (Holt et al. 1992).
Territoriality
There are no published data on territorial defense, maintenance, or home range size for Fulvous Owl.
Sexual Behavior
Little information is available on Fulvous Owl sexual behavior, but presumably is monogamous; duets (see Vocalizations) could be a form of pair bonding.
Most species of owl are monogamous and occur in breeding pairs for at least one breeding season. Long-term pair-bonds are common in the genus Strix.
Social and interspecific behavior
Little information; presumably usually is solitary or in pairs.
Predation
No information about predation on Fulvous Owls.
A captive Fulvous Owl in Mexico had two nematodes (Oxyspirura sp.) on its corneal surface under the nictitating membrane (Rodriguez-Tovar 2008).
