Makira boobook → Makira owl – English Wikipedia has a longstanding policy to use the English names in the IOC Checklist (latest version is 13.2 released in July) - unless agreed otherwise in a talk page discussion. The IOC page for owls is here. The agreement was reached back in 2009 here and reaffirmed in 2017 here. Aa77zz (talk) 15:18, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
