the brown boobook, also known as the brown hawk-owl, is an owl species distributed throughout southern asia. they are often referred to as hawk-owls due to their shape - they have long, hawklike tails and lack the distinctive facial disk of most owls. like other owl species, they are nocturnal; however, they may be occasionally seen during the day, particularly as smaller birds tend to mob them while they roost. they feed on large insects, small reptiles, birds, and other prey. the brown boobook lays 3-5 eggs in a cavity nest, like most other owls; the cavity is made by another species or from a natural tree formation. the sexes are identical in plumage; both possess notable orange-yellow eyes.

That post about the husbands as ANCH Blathers and Flick? Yeah
Well my headcanon is that Aziraphale has a private book collection on the island and whenever Crowley is there to survey the local flora and maintain the community blooms, he usually makes a trip to Aegolius' Boobookery House to 'save' the 'entomophobic' bookkeeper from household pests and then stays for a grateful nightcap
