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 Polish ‘sowa’ is owl, and it goes ‘hu-hu’, but if you hear an owl and want to mention it to somebody, you tend to say ‘sowa huczy’ (in the appropriate tense obv) which is ‘the owl is hu-ing’.

      Thanks for adding another to the list!

      Poland’s most common owl is the Tawny Owl, or Puszczyk Zwyczajny.
