This is a Frogmouth and not an owl at all. Frogmouths are unrelated to owls, they are related to nightjars. They do hunt nocternally and eat small creatures like frogs and lizzards. They remain docile during the day in order to remain hidden from predators..Please do not insult it by calling it an owl.
@AussieBloke108 Kinda isnt an owl at all. It does however fill a very similar niche in the ecosystem and has therefore evolved with similar characteristics to an owl but it is no more related to an owl than it is to a penguin. It is a type of nightjar.
Little critter sure ain't scared of people is he? If 1 of these little guys just walked up to me on my front porch and started lookin at me all crossways like that I'd football punt it.

@HarryAardvark Yeah true, just had a look, I claimed it to be an owl just because of it's physical features.
But after finding it's just a bird, I can agree, still one of my favorite animals because who could resist one.

@DeafFret I was obviously kidding. You can continue to destroy fur coats and masturbate to national geographic. I won't hurt any birdies, I promise.

@Sup3rShann0n and I'd pre-emptively report you to the RSPCA.

Awww, it's gorgeous! It's not an owl though. Tawny Frogmouths are more related to nightjars.

Its a Tawny Frogmouth. Kinda like an owl, but really more of a nightjar. That's huge. And eats rats whole.
...
And abducts humans to probe them.

It's not actually an owl, though it sure looks like it. Sort of.

Actually, I'm not convinced it's from earth.
