le hibou - owl, French
Oh, by the way this is a hibou: 
Whereas an owl can also be this bird ( chouette in French): 
The English word "owl" is a bracket term for both species. Russian and Bulgarian also have separate words, as do most Slavic languages (although not all people know the difference ;p). Edited by Sennin on 04 August 2009 at 7:24pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

in Spanish
Owl (hibou) = Búho Chouette = Lechuza Main difference is that "Les hiboux" have those horn-like or ear-like feathers and "Les chouettes" don't. Take care. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
