The mating ritual for the Eagle Owl involves the male advertising a potential breeding ground by scratching out a depression with a claw and emitting clucking noises. Should a female be impressed by the nesting site the male is offering, it will settle within the depression, or choose the one she likes most if the male has prepared several. | The mating ritual for the Eagle Owl involves the male advertising a potential breeding ground by scratching out a depression with a claw and emitting clucking noises.

Eurasian Eagle Owls enjoy making their nests in high, rocky places; however, they will not shy away from building a nest on the ground, or even making use of an abandoned nest made by another bird. Once the female has laid the eggs, she will incubate them as the male goes out to seek food. | Eurasian Eagle Owls enjoy making their nests in high, rocky places; however, they will not shy away from building a nest on the ground, or even making use of an abandoned nest made by another bird. Once the female has laid the eggs, she will incubate them as the male goes out to seek food. Once the chicks have hatched, it will take seven weeks for them to be able to fly. During this time, it's important that the male continues his food-fetching duty to keep everyone sustained. After an Eagle Owl reaches 2-3 years of age, it is ready to find a mate of its own. | ||
