The Australian Boobook (*Ninox boobook*) is Australia’s smallest and most widespread owl, found across nearly every part of the continent and many offshore islands. This adaptable, medium-sized brown owl is familiar in habitats ranging from dense forests and woodlands to farmland, urban parks, and even semi-arid scrub.
