Owls in other languages
(lemmy.world)
Mainly just curious to see how many non-US people we have. I know some languages have more than one word for owl.
Where are you from, and how do you say owl where you are from, and what sound do they make?

Looks like this wiki is where that sound list came from, since there are other types of owl calls, maybe it’s referring some other call and not the “who who”.

Thanks for linking the source. I did check the page out and I enjoyed the art style.
I found this video where you can clearly hear the twit twoo call of the Tawny Owl in the UK. Interesting it’s actually a female Owl call and a male Owl answering.

We just posted this at the same time. It sounded ridiculous written out and never having heard it, but I feel it's as accurate as the typical "hoot" is. I think it's also a little extra special since it is that call and response. I'm a fan of the twit twoo now!
LOL, Looks like you actually beat by a few min.
All good, just gives people 2 chances to see it!
