As you can guess when you see my avatar, 'Uhu' is just the german noun for 'eagle owl' (bubo bubo).
Awakening in the evening (like me!), watching with sharp eyes (like me?), looking wise and strong (ehm ...) these birds have ever been fascinating for me.

There is also another funny explanation for this name. It has to do with the age of a person. As in englisch speaking countries in Germany young people between 10 and 20 are called 'teens' followed by the 'twens' between 20 and 30.

In my milieu two further definitions have been added:

'bivi' for a person between 30 and 40 (german: 'bis vierzig' meaning 'up to forty') and finally
'uhu' for a person between 40 and 100 (german: 'unter hundert' meaning 'under hundred').

So now you can surely guess how old I am at least.



Uhu
