While I do admit I have a particular fondness for owls as birds, and I do prefer them for their wisdom, majesty, and mystique, and they're always the first birds I tried to hold or interact with whenever the bird person came to school, it does come from somewhere. Funny story actually, but there is a reference behind it. I needed a name for this site, but I didn't want it to follow any of my normal patterns. Of course I succeeded in ducking every pattern save one. I didn't come up with a name, I came up with a whole character. But to understand that, you have to understand my love of the Sly Cooper games which I played like there was no tomorrow as a kid. 1 & 2 are my favorites, vying for primacy even now, followed by 3, which I played the stuffing out of, and then four. From that I got the idea for the animal guise. Now, one thing I'm amazed that I have not yet actually done, I think, is working a joke - for those familiar - into any of my posts about how my sentiments toward the direction of Seasons 7 and beyond have probably extended my lifespan by a century or two. Of course, if you ever see pictures of teenage County you'll see him as having more in common with Arpeggio than Clockwerk. Yes I made an AI art of teenage Count too.
Oh we can go even farther down this road if you want. He could be like the Chosen Undead of Remnant. Every Huntsman/Huntress is a boss and he's doing a no-hit run. He's good enough to dodge everything thrown his way, and he mostly wears his shield on his back. The real agony with fighting Jaune in this form is the slow beating he hands out. Chipping his enemy down one hit at a time before rolling out of the way and coming back in again. Then can come the moment, where he pulls a parry or gets behind his opponent and lands an impossibly nasty blow.
