==Habits==
The dusky eagle owl usually becomes active at dusk, and unlike many owls it will frequently become active during the day, especially on cloudy days or in light rain. Its diet includes small mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs, fish and large insects, which have been identified by means of pellets regurgitated and dropped at their nesting sites.
The reproduction time falls in the period from November to April, with the peak of the breeding season in northern India from December to January. Abandoned nests of other large bird species are taken over, and the female will lay two eggs placed some distance from each other, with the result of a developmental difference between the nestlings.
