What sound does a PB owl make? (I've written it as "who," but am wondering if that could be confusing....)

I'm not a PB writer, but I'd go with hoo unless the owl's asking a question as part of the story.

I've seen both, Carrots. And both were perfect in their context. Ex. Who-who-who is there? and Hoo-hoo-hoot said the baby owl.

Thanks so much, Dewy and Vijaya!!!
I've gone ahead and edited it to "hoo," since my owl wasn't asking a question.
"This community is the best!! Hoo!!"

I think the general consensus would be "hoo". I would love to read an owl say "hoo said that?"
