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 méxico we use búho, tecolote and lechuza. The sounds they make are called “ulular” and it sounds like uuu-uuu (ooo-ooo in english)

      The most common owl in Mexico looks to be the Barn Owl, or lechuza. There are some really cool pictures of the mythical lechuza witch lady, but for now, I’ll just post a regular lechuza. You should Google it though if you haven’t seen it before!

      It seems Mexico doesn’t do very much to track owls or their habitats, especially the more tropical species, which seems to be a shame. I’ll have to research now into the owls of Mexico. They seem to have many different species.
