Woo… wooohooo… can’t be a coincidence that classic ghost noises sound exactly like owl calls.

Also the shrieking ones like barn owl, and the Barking Owl is also called the Screaming Woman. Tales about people getting lost in swamps and such trying to find her are the source of many monster stories. Look those calls up if you get a chance!

I’ve finally found my home on Lemmy.

If you’re not into North American politics, communism or Linux, it takes a while to find your people but yeah.

Hah, too true! I like parts of all those things, but I like to make the owls my main contribution here.

It's fun stuff 99% of the time unless I need to do a PSA on poison or the environment. That I would say is the reason this community is pretty popular. We're as apolitical as pro-environmental and animal rights people can be, we keep it positive, look at cute animals with amazing superpowers, and we nerd out.

I post 2 or 3 things a day, so there will always be something good for you when you check in.
