   A friend of mine just shared this because some random bigot on his FB was kicking off that the Duo owl would be pro-LGBT+ rights ("I'll DELETE THE APP!! OMG"). Obviously this is hilariously tragic and bigots should fuck off but I feel like there's a deeper question that needs answering here.

   Namely: why does this owl have tits?

   Is the Duolingo owl... a mammal?

     @girlonthenet Owls can have little a top surgery, as a treat.

     According to this, Duo is a he.
     So this must be Duo dressing up appropriately for a Pride event.

     Some of you believe this to be a comment upon the gender of the Duolingo owl, but it is not. It is a comment on whether or not birds canonically have nipples.

     @girlonthenet Perhaps Duo is a monotreme, and as such can make its own custard.
