This is an educational video from the German TV station ARD1, about German owls. It’s in German, of course, but it’s got some great video about two breeding pairs and their owlets, briefly covering from egg to leaving the nest, including some adorable footage of one of the fledglings practicing pouncing on a dead bird.

One couple nests in a cliff face; the other in a castle ruins. I fancy it’s a nice watch even if you don’t speak German.

Uhu is the German word for Bubo bubo, a Eurasian species of Eagle Owl. Eule is the German word for owls in general: Uhu are Eule, but not all Eule are Uhu.

    That German word always brings a smile on my face, the Latin is a close second.

    Btw Uhu is what we called white putty at my school because of the brand (we switched to cheaper Pritt long ago but it has stuck)

      Have you seen that funny language video comparing words in different languages? “Farfalla… butterfly… papillon… schmetterling!”? It’s funny, but German has a bunch of cutsey words, like “Uhu,” too. I like how “Uhu” is onomatopoeic.

        I’ve seen the whole series and I hate French. Krankenwagen is so much better than “aamboulaans”. It’s a Wagen for den Kranken!
