Collared Owlet in India

This is Asia's smallest owl at around 6.25 in /16 cm.

I've seen comments that it calls in all directions, making it a difficult owl to locate by sounds. Here is a video of it hooting all around. It's a pretty cute sound.

Look at that head spin!
- "Every side is my good side!"
The perfect shirt-poclet sized roundboi for all occasions
- Can't think of any other reason they'd be that size. 😁
If a Pixar owl came to life…

Though that hoot sounds like that time I got my nephew and niece a train whistle as a souvenir (there’s a historic train that runs along the WI side of the St Croix. Nice scenic ride on an old train.)(yeah, their parents made sure to “lose” the train whistles real quick……)
- Yes! My grandparents had a wooden train whistle, and it does remind me much of that!
  
  Honestly, it’s a bit surprising that a bird that small can make that big a sound, and it’s not horribly shrill.
