The National Aviary has a new resident and a new partnership.
The Aviary and Duolingo announced a new partnership on Thursday. Duolingo is the Pittsburgh-based language learning platform whose mascot is an owl.
That's where 'Duo' comes in. She's a juvenile Spectacled Owl.
We are thrilled to introduce Duo, our new Spectacled Owl, named by our friends at @duolingo . @duolingo is also the sponsor of our Burrowing Owls habitat. You can meet owls and other birds of prey at the National Aviary during daily activities and special events! pic.twitter.com/K2a7P9dxow

"She has some while color to the top of her head still, said Christa Gaus, Manager of Visitor Experiences and Training at that National Aviary. "Over the next 6 months, more and more white will disappear, and she will get a white ring around her eyes, which looks like spectacles. Hence the name."
You can meet the Aviary's entire family of owls during their special owl appearances.
