Owls are also called people who are accustomed to go to bed late and get up late (as opposed to larks).
In the J. Rowling Harry Potter books, owls are used as a means of communication between wizards (owl mail).
In the cycle of Katherine Lasky’s books, The Legends of the Night Watchmen, the main characters are rational owls, who inherited the qualities, abilities and character of people. In the books, habits, habits and lifestyle of different types of owls are fairly reliably described.
