Short Description:
Collared Owlet is a small owl with a rounded head and no ear tufts. It has a distinct white collar on the back of its neck, which gives it its name. Its plumage varies from reddish-brown to grayish-brown, with intricate patterns of spots and streaks. It has yellow eyes and a short, hooked bill. Despite its small size, it has a powerful voice and can emit a series of hoots and calls.

Collared Owlet is primarily found in forested regions, including the Himalayan foothills and the forests of northern Pakistan. It also occurs in wooded areas, including scrublands and orchards, throughout the country. Its distribution may vary depending on the availability of suitable habitat and prey.
Collared Owlet is primarily nocturnal, hunting for small mammals, birds, insects, and reptiles under the cover of darkness. During the day, it roosts in dense foliage or tree cavities, relying on its cryptic plumage to remain hidden from potential predators. It is known for its territorial behavior, often defending its territory with vocalizations and occasional confrontations with intruders.
