A bit of a naming fact about this bird. They are called "Bižus" in northern Sami, and "Heilo" in Norwegian. The name in both of the languages comes from their call. The call goes like "Twi-twiiiiii, twi-twiiiii", and in both languages, it's almost like calling it's name. In northern Sami it's "Bi-žuuuus, bi-žuuus", and in Norwegian it's "Hei-loooo, hei-loooo"
