This large owl with the distinctive face, large forward-facing eyes, horns and deep resonant call is associated with a number of superstitions. Like many other large owls, these are considered birds of ill omen. Their deep haunting calls if delivered from atop a house are considered to forebode the death of an occupant. A number of rituals involving the capture and killing of these birds have been recorded. Salim Ali notes a wide range of superstitions related to them but notes two as being particularly widespread. One is that if the bird is starved for a few days and beaten, it would speak like a human, predicting the future of the tormentor or bringing them wealth while the other involves the killing of the bird to find a lucky bone that moved against the current like a snake when dropped into a stream.Belief in these superstitions has led to the persecution of the species in many areas by tribal hunters. The capture of these birds is illegal under Indian law but an underground market continues to drive poaching.

Portrait of a female great horned owl standing still on a pole against a blurred background.
Small bird, its average size is 21.5 to 28.5 cm (males) and 22 to 25 cm (females). It weighs between 110 and 285 g (males) and between 150 and 265 g (females). It has a round head, without plumes and the eyes are arranged side by side, in the same plane. The eyebrows are white and the eyes are yellow. The coloration is earthy, mimetic, and may present plumage in rusty tones caused by purple earth soils (adventitious coloration). Unlike most owls, the male is slightly larger than the female and females are normally darker than males, particularly on the face. It has a smooth and silent flight. She has to turn her neck, because her big eyes are arranged side by side in the same plane. This frontal arrangement gives the owl binocular vision (it sees an object with both eyes at the same time). This means that the owl can see objects in three dimensions, that is, height, width and depth. The eyes of the burrowing owl are very large, in some subspecies of owls they are even larger than the brain itself, in order to improve its efficiency in low light conditions, better capturing and processing the available light.
