owl, long-eared owl, screech owl, or nocturnal bird. Lit. "worm owl" (''[[srin bu]]'i bya'') or "ghost bird" (''[[srin po]]'i bya''), the latter being the usual reading, the ghastly associations surely due to the nocturnal activities of these birds. The exact species seems somewhat unclear, and more research is needed, but it is possibly ''Asio otus (otus linneaus)'', the northern long-eared owl, a species with a very large range extending across northern Eurasia as well as Mediterranean islands, northwestern Africa, the Middle East and northern Pakistan, with isolated populations in the Azores, China and Tibet.

(med) Owl ? (Phrin Las 1987). The thangka image in Phrin Las does not depict an owl. <br>
 
The rounded beak could recall an Ibisbill (Ibidorhyncha struthersii), zo mchu chu bya ('sickle-beak water bird'). The name srin bya could come from srin bu, worms, which the bird seeks with his beak under the river stones. Just a suggestion (David Holler, tibetbirds). The Ibisbill is a bird related to the waders. It is grey with a white belly, red legs and long down-curved bill, and a black face and black breast band. It occurs on the shingle riverbanks of the high plateau of central Asia and the Himalayas (avibase).

owl, long-eared owl, screech owl, or nocturnal bird. Lit.
