The Cuban pygmy owl (Glaucidium siju) is a species of owl in the family Strigidae that is endemic to Cuba. Its natural habitats are dry forests, moist forests, and heavily degraded former forest.
The Pygmy-Owl is the most frequently observed of Cuba’s owls.[2] They breed in tree holes formerly used by woodpeckers.
There are three known subspecies of the Cuban pygmy-owl: Glaucidium siju siju, Glaucidium siju Vittatum, and Glaucidium siju Turquinensis.[2]
