I can't find info on the character pages on owl species (besides the mention on Bokuto's page). So I decided to look up the name of every character from the Fukurodani team as owls and find the English wikipedia entry that matches their name it was really hard omg. Akaashi is the cutest thing ever (so is the owl)
Does this fit anywhere on the wiki? I'm not really interested in making entries or editing...
Bokuto 木兎
ミミズク - 木兎 (Mimizuku)*
Separately, the kanji are 木 (boku; ki) tree, and 兎 (to; usagi) rabbit. Because their horns look like bunny ears and they hang out in forests.
Horned owl (the genus) / Genus: Bubo
Mimizuku is a smart and very curious birb, with a great memory. They can be friendly with humans who raise them, but are guarded against strangers.

* So THIS is why people keep calling Bokuto "u goddamn mimizuku"!!!! cause that's literally what his name says HOW DID I NEVER KNOW THIS
Akaashi 赤葦
アカアシモリフクロウ - 赤足森梟 (Aka-ashi-mori-fukurou)
赤 (aka) red; 足 (ashi) leg: because they have reddish-brown legs. I can't tell but maybe it's relative to other owls???
Rufous-legged owl / Strix rufipes
Akaashi is a smol owl that lives in forests or in areas next to the forest. They have a cute face and are a popular pet. They can often become comfortable with people, some of them even like pats on the head.

Konoha is the smallest owl found in Japan, migrating seasonally from tropical areas. They have distinct bright yellow eyes, and an unusual call sound which often gets them mistaken as other types of birbs. (They have horns too, the horns just don't stay up all the time.)

Owls and crows are born enemies. Most owls won't eat crows but if big owls sees baby crows they'll take the opportunity. However, crows have a mob mentality and will chase the owl away if it's trying to eat their eggs or their young.
Sneks are not a preferred food for owls (normally they hunt voles) but if an owl see a snek they'll eat it, cause they're opportunist hunters. A massive snek may be able to eat a smol baby owl.
Cats are usually too big for owls, but if there's a kitten around the owl might try to attack it. They may not succeed in killing/eating the cat but can still cause serious injury.
~ basically they'll gun for all of the meat at the BBQ and will demolish everything they see ~
