Duo doesn't like being called weird. He'll now have your entire family murdered.
Haha!! Whoever put that sentence together is in BIG trouble from Duo!!! LOL!
So, this brings up a question: Do all animals use the male tenses as a matter of course, or do female animals use female tenses and male, male? Or are some animals considered male or female in general?? (as in Spanish). Like, are we saying "anta" here because Duo, in particular, is a male, or because he's an owl, or because he's an animal??? Please clarify, thanks.
I think, first of all, you don't have male or female tenses, as far as I know. You have gender when describing nouns. Owl is بومة which I guess is female, so we go with the proper name "Duo" to make it male.
My strange 3rayb was accepted and also beautiful in place of pretty Jamil pretty and weird gets a little boring I say! What!
It would hard for them to set up the app so that they accept every possible answer. It's easier for them to put one correct answer so just follow what they usually give as the translation
I put the wrong gender for "weird" - I had forgotten that "Duo" is a name and is for a male.
But gramatically, he IS a man. Or a boy if you put him in his tracksuit.

No, he is grammatically male but never a man (except for the time Duolingo wrote a sentence here making him female; but not a woman!)
Come on, we are at Duolingo where grammatical categories like masculine, feminine and neuter are scorned upon, as well as the rest of potentially useful terminology
This is hilarious... or just unbelievable. IDK, actually. Whatever, I never expected this
By this comment, I would say you are making good progress with English! ^^
