Indian Scops-Owl is distributed across various regions, including the foothills of the Himalayas, the plains of Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan, as well as the coastal areas of Karachi and surrounding regions. It inhabits a variety of habitats, ranging from woodlands and groves to cultivated areas and parks.
Indian Scops-Owls are nocturnal hunters, relying on their excellent hearing and vision to locate prey such as insects, small rodents, and occasionally small birds. During the day, they roost in dense foliage, often remaining well camouflaged against tree branches. Their calls consist of series of whistling or trilling notes, often heard at night during the breeding season.
