      It does sound a bit like an insult, doesn’t it?! 😆

      The Boobook type owls are great. There are 36 living species, and the extinct Laughing Owl was one also.

      They’re all of the genus Ninox, and also known as hawk owls, due to the sleek appearance you took note of.

      I try to toss in a Boobook here now and then as their unique looks always catch people’s attention.

      Gerd’s owl in One Piece is somewhat similar to a Southern Boobook.
