Strix Aluco is the scientific name for the tawny owl. “Strix” is derived from Greek, meaning “owl,” while “Aluco” comes from the Italian word “Allocco.” Tawny owls are only around 1-1.8 pounds in weight and live to around 5 years old. However, one captive tawny owl has lived for over 27 years. These owls, with their short wings, are experts at hunting in woodlands as their wings offer great ability to weave in and out of obstacles.
