Ninox boobook

Indi is one of the favourite characters at the Centre. He is one of our incredible small owls that can really demonstrate an alternative way of hunting for food.

In the wild he would catch all of his insect prey on the wing, or snatching it off plants, and Indi does just that in the barn. A small owl originating from New Zealand, Australasia and New Guinea, living in almost any habitat, and existing almost entirely on insects. To this end they need to keep very active, and very fast, burning up a great deal of energy to capture a meal.

Indi delights all our visitors as he hawks for food, and snatches it off the 'pounce box'. He really enjoys his flying.
