Despite its small size, it is very strong and able to kill large thrushes. The \u201clittle devil\u201d is only rarely spotted, although it is diurnal and crepuscular. In spring and autumn it often attracts attention by its song. The Eurasian Pygmy-owl often perches on spruce tops where it turns its head quickly and moves its tail jerkily. A \u201cfalse face\u201d on the back of its neck protects it from attacks from the rear."}
