**Please be careful with this type of owl. It is very dangerous species and harm to our swiftlet house. From my observation, most of the owl is scare for LAMP that we install at our bird house's entrance except this type Australian Masked Owl. I thought this species can only found at Australia, but I also found in Malaysia too.
