FELINE OWLET-NIGHTJAR (Aegotheles insignis): SPECIES ACCOUNT

Owlet-nightjars live in Australia, Moluccas, New Guinea and nearby islands, Tasmania, and New Caledonia.


Owlet-nightjars live in various types of forests. Species in New Guinea range in rainforests, where rain throughout the year produces abundant growth. Owlet-nightjar species live in mountain forests, and in scrubland where there are fewer trees.




Owlet-nightjars have little contact with people.
