Owls a very intelligent and good birds

[Theindiansun]

Owls are nocturnal birds. They are known as very intelligent and good birds in the Western World. As a symbol of knowledge and of erudition that can see through obscurity, the owl appears in the emblems of educational institutions, book stores and publishing houses. In Greece owls are associated with Goddess Pallas Athena/Minerva, the Goddess of Wisdom.

In India and China, owls are not liked by the people because of its demonic gaze. They consider them as the harbinger of misfortune. Owls have earned a bird name in Indian mythology and folk lore. People associate their calls with the god of death.

I still remembered when I was a kid when I accidentally saw the owl at the jungle near my house, the owl head turns like 360 and it scared the sh*t out of me, I ran away fast like the flash.

They can do this because they have twice as many neck bones as humans :)
