What is the meaning and symbol of owl?

People in China often regard owls as "ominous birds", which are called spirit birds and mourning birds. Ancient books also regard owls as a symbol of bad luck and death. The main reason is that owls have a keen sense of smell, can sniff out sick people and laugh. In many places, it is not superstition that owls die within a few days after hearing the cry, so owls are called mourning birds.

In addition, the owl's cry in the dark is as gloomy and desolate as ghosts, which makes people even more afraid. In addition, owls crouch at night, fly like ghosts, whisper to each other, and often see black and white shadows, which easily makes people who don't understand their behavior have all kinds of terrible associations.

China culture owls can ward off evil spirits. There is a saying in Feng Shui that an owl means "not hard". Putting them in financial position or wearing them on yourself can make money for yourself or your family. You can put it on the financial position or wear it on yourself. In addition, among the people, owls are "ghost birds". A layman in Huaiyuan, Hong Kong, said that whoever can keep owls will surely make a fortune for a long time.

Living habits:

Owls mostly inhabit trees, and some species inhabit rocks and grasslands. Most owls are Nocturnal Animals, which lurks during the day and comes out at night. It is not easy to see them in the caves or eaves of trees during the day, but some species, such as spotted snipe, western snipe, striped owl and carved owl, are restless and lonely during the day and often go out for activities. Species that have been active at night, once active during the day, tend to fly around like drunkards.

Owls mainly eat mice, but also insects, birds, lizards, fish and other animals. They all have the habit of spitting "food pills" and have digestive ability. Food is often swallowed whole. The indigestible bones, feathers, hair, chitin and other residues in food are integrated into small balls and spit out through the esophagus and mouth, which is called food pills, also called saliva. Scientists can know their eating habits according to the analysis of edible pills.
