china owl

"Chinese Owl" is the name of a popular breed of 'fancy' pigeon, descended from the rock dove. Etymological origin uncertain.

The ordinary popular name for owls of all sorts, especially owls with 'ears', is 猫头鹰 māo-tóu-yīng ('cat-headed hawk'). There is also a dialect term 夜猫子 yè-māozi or 'night cat'. Neither of these terms figures at all in the official names. Instead, the character 鸮 xiāo is used for almost all owls.

Une leçon en français: Hiboux et Chouettes:

chouette

Hibou or Chouette?

Hiboux gots ears, but Chouettes ain't gots ears.

(these ears are feather "
tufts", presumably used by Hiboux as a recognition device);

(& that's why French ornithology websites in translation will sometimes say: "
owls & owls");

(OVVLvverk encourages all to use the phrase: "C'est Chouette!" to describe anything cool & stylish).
