Why are owls, which are common in rural areas, considered to be bad birds?

In nature there are thousands of species of birds, and owls.

It's very special because its head can rotate 360 degrees and it likes to go out at night. In the eyes of many people, owls belong to a kind of ominous bird, especially as long as the owl appears at the door of which family, the family usually encounters bad things, so what kind of statement is this? Why do rural families hate owls so much, here are the reasons to explain to you.

The ominous legend about the owl has a legend a long time ago that there was an old man named Uncle Ma in the countryside, who was usually very strong and got along well with his neighbors. One night, Uncle Ma suddenly heard a strange cry outside, and when he went out to look, it turned out to be an owl standing on his tree. So Uncle Ma drove the owl away, but who knew that the second day and the third day the owl still came to Uncle Ma's door on time.

The superstitious saying was that on the fourth day, the news of Uncle Ma's death came out at night, so many villagers would think that it was because of this owl that brought bad signs, after all, how could Uncle Ma, who was in such good health, die suddenly. However, it is thought that this is just a superstitious statement, after all, many people have some hidden diseases in their bodies, but they don't know it, and the appearance of owls is just a coincidence.

There is another reason why everyone doesn't like owls, that is, the owl's cry is like a child's cry, and its eyes are more peculiar, so it looks a little weird. However, owls are actually a beneficial bird that can help get rid of mice. According to statistics, an owl can kill 30 mice a day, so I hope everyone can treat any kind of animal fairly and justlyProtect animalsand love nature.

Because owls are generally seen at night, people associate owls with darkness, so they are considered bad birds.

Because the cry of the owl is very miserable, the owl often haunts at night, and it looks like a crow. So it would be considered unlucky.

In rural areas, people hear owls and people die within a few days, so people think owls are very unlucky. However, there is no scientific basis for such a claim, and owls are still very cute.

Because the owl's cry is very terrifying, and the owl looks very scary, it is considered an ominous bird.

Because owls generally appear at night, and the owl's call is particularly terrifying, it has such a title.

Mainly because the owl's laughter is very scary, like to cry at night, the older generation once had such a saying, if someone in the family dies will hear the owl's call, and because of this, the owl is called a mourning bird by others, and over time it becomes an ominous bird。Owls have been called ominous birds for a long time, so why such a misunderstanding? It's mostly due to their sounds.

1. Appearance. Compared with other birds, the owl's appearance does have some particularly big heads and deepened eyes, which are completely different from the traditional birds in human impressions, and seem to be a combination of cats and birds, so they look more special as a whole, and the owl's call is very special compared to other birds, so it is "judged by appearance". In fact, human beings always make the mistake of thinking that scary-looking creatures are hoodoos, such as crows, black cats, and so on.

2. Crying at night.

Owls always like to call at night, and the already unpleasant sound is even harsher at night. The older generation used to have this saying, "If you are not afraid of barking, you are afraid of laughing", this is because as long as you hear the laughter of an owl, someone may die nearby, so the older people are always very afraid of owls, and gradually the name of "mourning bird" gradually spread.

3. Spit out hairballs before you die.

Many people have discovered such a peculiar phenomenon, the owl will spit out a small hairball before dying, and it is precisely because of this mystery that it is one step closer to the "ominous bird". In fact, among the birds known to man, there are more than 200 species of birds that will spit out hairballs, but humans do not know it, the reason why owls spit out hairballs is because the food they eat is not completely digested, and over time it will form a ball, so it is not unusual.

In fact, the reason why owls have been misunderstood for so many years is entirely due to a lack of scientific understanding. The owl is a highly intelligent bird that feeds mainly on rats and is very helpful for agricultural life.

The sense of smell is very sensitive, and it can also smell the smell of some people when they are terminally ill. That's why it's called a mourning bird.

This is a superstitious statement, and many people think that owls are unlucky. But I think it's just a superstitious statement.

Because the owl's voice is very scary. This is a superstitious saying, because owls were very rare in ancient times, so after seeing an owl, something bad will happen.
