    As cute as these little owls are, Aegolius is from the Greek aigōlios meaning “a bird of ill omen” and funerea is from the Latin funereus, meaning “funereal.” That’s one heck of a dark name for this cutie pie!

    Probalby from the Dark Ages where everything was like emo but not cool at all ;D
