Habitat
The andaman Boobook typically resides in lowland forested regions, encompassing both primary forests, which are old-growth ecosystems with minimal human impact, and secondary forests that have regenerated after significant disturbance. These birds are most commonly associated with dense, wooded environments that provide ample foraging opportunities and nesting sites within the broader geographical setting of tropical regions.
