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?

    In Spanish it’s usually just uuu. Funnily enough, the word for owl, búho, sounds pretty similar to the noise

      I was hoping to hear the Spanish noise from someone. I studied Spanish for a bit in school and in Duolingo, so I learned búho, but never the noise it made.

      I also saw there is la lechuza that I’ve never seen used, but it seems that’s more specifically a barn owl.

      You didn’t say where you’re from, so I’ll stick with Spain, where the most common owl is the Little Owl, or Mochuelo Europeo. If you’re from somewhere else, I’ll find your correct owl also!
