I'm very excited to introduce you to bonjour, bird's first friendly bird, wâciye, owl. This little guy is a barred owl, which is sometimes known as a hoot owl or eight hooter which is made clear when you listen to his raucous jumble of cackles. I haven't quite figured out how to put sound bites on blogger, but I recommend going to this link to hear the hoooooting. He also has a pretty nice scientific name: Strix varia.I have him speaking in Cree which is a native language from Canada. This owl comes from most of the eastern half of North America, so I hope that his language is fitting. Wâciye is pronounced wah-chee-yay.
If you would like to see more of wâciye, owl, you can take him home with you by going to my cafepress shop. With the weekly friendly bird, I will also post items on this online store so you can take your friendly bird to work with you in a to-go mug, wear him on your shirt, or even put him on your baby!
