How do you write "whistling owl" in Japanese romanji?

Question:


Is "fukurou no fue wo fuku" correct?

Answer:


I think it's about a specific owl called
"ワライ・フクロウ" (Laughing Owl found in New Zealand)
that makes sound melancholic voices like whistling.

Otherwise, I would say "口笛を吹いているようなフクロウ" (they don't whistle literally...)
Or, figuratively "口笛吹きのフクロウ"
