The owl featured is a Southern White Faced Scops owl from South Africa called Popochan. As soon as it saw the slightly larger barn owl, Popochan will raise its wings high and pump up its plumage to increase its volume to increase its aggressiveness.
However when it was presented a larger Eagle owl, Popochan tries to hide its presence and decreases its volume by contracting its plumage.
