Screech owls seem to be restricted to the Americas.See the related Wikipedia link listed below for more information:The common screech owl is found over much of North America.

Great Horned owls, barred owls, eastern screech owls, northern saw-whet owls, barn owls,short eard owls and long eared owls.
Owls screech simply to communicate. Not all owls hoot, like Barn Owls for example, so screeching is not necessarily a sign of aggression, but rather just their way of communicating.
Screech Owls eat a variety of small mammals, such as rats, chipmunks, mice, and shrews. They have also been known to eat insects, songbirds, and small reptiles and amphibians. An Eastern Screech Owl diet would consist of the animals found in the eastern US, while a Western Screech would consume the species found in their range in the western US. Eastern Screeches may also eat small fish.
Raccoons, snakes, weasels, hawks, and owls up to the size of golden eagles and northern eagle-owls are reported predators of screech-owls (Otus asio).
