Northern masked owl

... that northern masked owl chicks hiss to ask for food, while adults hiss to defend nests? "When begging for food, dependent juveniles utter repeated short hissing rasps', 'birds defending nests hissed with snapping of bill, and also gave sustained rasping churrs interspersed with brief hisses", from Handbook of Australian, New Zealand and Antarctic Birds
- ALT1:... that northern masked owls tend to be found in woollybutt forest? Source: [1]

This is a nice article, but it has not been created, expanded 5x, or promoted to GA within the DYK timeframe. Please clarify, if I am missing something. HouseOfChange (talk) 19:48, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello HouseOfChange, it was moved from draftspace on 30 December[2]. CMD (talk) 00:01, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK! In that case, article is new enough. Also long enough, neutral, with good online citations. Copyvio check clean. Both hooks good, I prefer ALT1 but either is fine. Image is clear at small size, permissions check out. QPQ done. @Chipmunkdavis: Thanks for the explanation, I am a bit new at this. DYK ready to go.
