Seychelles Scops Owl
Scops Owls nest in Upland forests in hollows like many owls and eat spiders, insects, and possibly frogs and lizards. Male scops owls mate by luring females to a nest site and sometimes with aerial displays, or offerings of food. Owls as a whole are at the top of the food chain and have few natural predators other than larger owls.

Seychelles Swiftlet
Kestrels live in nests on cliffs in buildings and sometimes in coconut palms and trees and are the only resident small falcon in Seychelles. They're seen in woodlands, cliffs, and coconut farms. Kestrels eat geckos, skinks, small birds, and insects. The kestrels are preyed on by Owls. Kestrels, like many birds, use aerial displays to attract mates.
Swiftlets nest in large groups in caves with many small, cup-shaped nests made of plants and the birds' own spit.

building a nest and a little over a week after to lay an egg.
