It's a very old nursery rhyme dating from 1744. There are variations, but it's basically this:

Ladybug! Ladybug! Fly away home. Your house is on fire. And your children all gone.

All except one, And that's little Ann, For she crept under The frying pan.

Considering the resemblance, I'm surprised there are none named for a cat of some kind.

I wonder how many owls have another animal in the name? Eagle Owl, Hawk Owl, Fish Owl... Elf Owl, does that count?

I love how she looks right at the camera afterwards like, "Did you see that!"

It's so funny to see them sitting like a chicken!

I've voted in all three! Tough to pick a fave, though it's hard to go wrong with a good Flammy. 🦉

I saw a bluejay attack and kill a smaller bird (titmouse, I think), last summer. Kindred spirits, maybe.
