The caption called this a sperlingskauz, which was translated to “Sparrow Owl.”

I’d never heard of a Sparrow Owl, but the EPO has a scientific name that is Latin for “Sparrow Owl” that I will assume is how it got its German name.

    That’s so nice. I’m saving that to read it latter. Thank you for sharing!

      Some of those jokes are definitely flat, but it is nice getting insight to so many languages in a fun way.

      I was glad to have fun with the German lemmings like I have had fun trying French with you. Everyone is always expected to go to English to talk together, but it doesn’t need to be that way every time. It would do many good to have some experience in other languages.
