For owls that are superb.

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?

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!
