Everyone is fond of owls...

Err, what I mean is...

I hear owl sound effects (both screech owl trills and large owl hoots) while out in the Darkmoon Island forests. I also hear beautiful soft hoots when an owl detects my rogue in stealth.

Neither of these sound effects are actually used by owls, but they are in the game files. Just wanted to say I'd love to see the actual owl sound effects applied to idling or in-combat owls!

If anyone hasn't heard this, go antagonize a hostile owl (Hell-hoot, or the Sethekk owls, or the AV white stealth-detect owls--the ones I'm 100% sure make the sound--on a rogue/druid) or go into the Darkmoon woods and have a listen. Very pretty sounds!

The owl 'hoot' sound effect was used in Feedomatic to indicate when your owl was hungry, too. I hoped the remnants of it were in there, so I could point you to the sound effect 'hoot' in a /play, but no dice.

Liking the reference there I guess they have left (and will leave until MoP) hunter pets relatively untouched in 4.3 so I wouldn't expect them to do it soon, but it is a possibility. However people have been complaining about the cat yawn for ages and they never changed that so I don't know.
