Golden owls, specifically the subspecies of the barn owl known as the golden masked owl (Tyto aurantia), are native to the island of New Britain in Papua New Guinea. They inhabit dense rainforests and are known for their elusive nature, which makes them difficult to study. Their range is limited to this island, contributing to their rarity and the limited information available about them.
