Description
Verreauxs' Eagle Owl is one of the largest owls. Also known as the Milky Eagle Owl because its colour, and Giant Eagle Owl, because its size. It is a very large and huge, powerful owl, with ear tufts on the head.
The Other common name given is Verreauxs' Eagle Owl after a noted taxidermist, who apart from birds not also famous for doing the same to a human!!
The Milky Eagle Owl adult has pale grey-brown plumage, with fine white vermiculations. Throat is white, very conspicuous when calling. Scapulars show white outer webs. Flight feathers and tail are dark, dusky brown, with broad pale grey bars.
Facial disks are pale grey-brown with broad dusky brown rim. Ear tufts are grey-brown with fine pale vermiculations.
We can see black nasal bristles at base of the bill, giving it a moustache. Bill is pale cream with blue-grey cere. Eyes are dark brown, with conspicuous bare deep pink eyelids rather than cream when in breeding condition.
