Behavior
Introduction
The behavior of Koepcke's Screech-Owl is virtually unknown. It is nocturnal, like other species of screech-owl. They vocalize frequently (Fjeldså et al. 2012). Day roosts are in holes in trees, or in cavities in large masses of epiphytic bromeliads (Fjeldså et al. 2012).
Territoriality
Koepcke's Screech-Owl reacts readily to audio playback of its vocalizations, and so presumably is territorial (Fjeldså et al. 2012), but there otherwise are no data on territorial defense, maintenance, or fidelity, or for territory or home range size, for this species.
Sexual Behavior
Little information, but Koepcke's Screech-Owl usually is in pairs (Fjeldså et al. 2012), and so presumably is at least socially monogamous.
Social and interspecific behavior
Koepcke's Screech-Owl usually is in pairs, which maintain frequent vocal contact (Fjeldså et al. 2012).
