Listed as a “Waldohreule,” which translates from German to “Wood Owl,” “Wood(Forest) Ear Owl” but many of us would know it as a Long Eared Owl.

It was very interesting seeing them have an implied “personality.” I don’t believe I’ve seen that anywhere else.
You may also call a grumpy person, especially men, Kauz (der Kauz is male in German). The use of Eule for especially women (die Eule is female in German), is also common, but not exactly as wise, but for strange esoteric women.
I have seen that mentioned before! I’m jealous other languages have owl slang! The French for the round headed owls is chouette, which means cool/superb.
