Hume's boobook, or Hume's hawk-owl, is an owl endemic to the Andaman Islands. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and mangrove forest. It is becoming rare due to habitat loss (Wikipedia, general species account).
The cached account is very short and gives no description, measurements, diet or breeding information. SoIB 2023 treats it as an Andaman endemic, a resident of non-specialised habitat that eats invertebrates, without a priority category (Wikipedia, general species account; SoIB 2023).
