They live in the hollows of trees or in cavities in rocks or buildings. It nests in a hole in a tree , laying 3-5 eggs. The species shows a lot of variation including clinal variation in size and forms a superspecies with the very similar Little Owl. The breeding season is November to April. The upperparts of the spotted owls are grey-brown, heavily spotted with white. The underparts are white, streaked with brown. The facial disc is pale and the iris is yellow.
