What does hearing an owl at 3 am mean?
I’m a little confused by the question if I’m honest. When I saw the related questions I was even more confused with questions like ‘What do you think seeing an owl means?’ and ‘What does it mean when you see an owl at night?’.It would seem that many people place a particular significance on owls for some reason that I don’t understand. Owls are just birds after all, the difference is that most birds are diurnal, active in the daytime, whereas owls are nocturnal, they hunt at night as their prey are often nocturnal too. Because they are usually timid, prey animals, frequently small mammals and rodents, are less active during the day than they are at night and so owls have become adapted to hunting in the dark. They have huge eyes in comparison to their size to permit them to gather as much light as possible, acute hearing that can locate the smallest of noises, in the grass for example, and their feathers have evolved to allow almost silent flight in order not to alert the prey of their presence.I used to go fishing a lot when I lived close to a river that ran through marshland and as it got dark I would frequently see a Barn Owl flying low over the ground in search of food, flying up and down the area in such a manner that he would cover all the area. As he flew over me about 10 feet or so above me he would turn his head and look at me as if checking me out as a potential threat or a meal. He was almost pure white as seen from underneath and as silent as a ghost, perhaps that is why history has endowed them with some mystery and a special significance has been attributed to them.I saw him many times and considered it a privilege to have done so. They are magnificent animals but have no special significance.Seeing or hearing an owl at night is perfectly natural and normal and to see one at work hunting is a sight one never forgets.
What does seeing an owl in your yard mean?
many people that see a owl are blessed with good luck .....OWL: Cherokee [Indian] shamans viewed Eastern Screech-Owls as consultants on punishment and sickness.

What does it mean when you see an owl in your dream, and it poops on you then rubs its head on you?
Last night I had a dream that I was walking down a street and saw an owl with its baby looking like it was still looking for something then I heard a little hooting noise next to me I see a baby owl so I pick it up and take it to its momma. The momma owl then stays staring at me not making a sound till I slowly start backing up. The owl started hooting louder and louder as I walked further away. I then look back and see the owl in flight. He's flying toward me, I run behind a wall in a tight space and the owl still finds me and trys to poop on me I blocked it. Then when it was done it walked over to me and then started to rub it head on me.
What does it mean when you see an owl at night?
That's an interesting superstition. Never heard about that before. I live over in GA and I hear owls a lot of times. They're very neat in the sense that they make me think of witches but I don't like them as I have been told they eat kittens and other small animals (it's no doubt true). Anyways: Owls have been said (for a very long time) to be the servants of witches. They are known to be wise creatures and often symbolize great wisdom. If it was looking in the direction you were headed towards maybe it was a sign of something. However, I don't really know what, I'm afraid. That would depend on if anything weird happened afterwords. Personally that superstition makes me wonder...still, I hear owls hooting over here all the time and nobody that I know of on my road has died. It's quite possible it means someone was being born. After all, the opposite of death is life, right? Since the owl didn't make any noise then maybe that's what it symbolizes. Who knows. Hope this helped, ~E.A.♥
Does it mean anything when you see an owl die AND hear a cry or call from another owl only moments after?
I live in Decatur, IL, and I was driving home approximately around 1:20 a.m. on the date of February 25th, when I look up and see two big birds flying through the air. They disappear (not into thin air), and out of no where, one of them swoops down and smacks my car cracking my windshield, and leaving feathers and what look to be saliva and blood upon the glass. I was immediately in shock, and began to scream and swerve all over. I finally brake, and the bird rolls off of the hood, and lands in front of my car. I backed up so that I could see it with my head lights directly on it. I was immediately able to identify it as an owl (not sure what species). I sat there in shock for a while as I watched it's eyes slowly shut. By this point, I'm in tears. I then decided to step outside, and process what just happened. While standing outside, I hear the other owl from a distance hooting. It wasn't a regular hoot though. This hoot was like a call, or a cry. I could not believe this was happening, and had no idea what to think. I didn't want to leave its sight, but I started to get a little creeped out at the situation, because how often does an owl smack someone's windshield?? Never, right? So just the fact that I know I just killed an owl, frightened me. I finally decided to finish the drive home.
What does it mean if you see a white owl?
In all reality and my many experiences that include belief in spirit animals - it means that you saw a white owlAccording to ancient belief - in most of the Western world an owl is both the bringer of wisdom and death (similar to Kronus/Saturn).In the western world seeing an owl near the birth of a child is a bad omen. To th extent that in countries in the Middle East it is not allowed to have any image of an owl near a new born.An owl is seen at night and to the ancient people - they would be scared at night - sure they could use fire - but fire also would show where you are … barn owls - white owls make a screechy noise - which was scary - however this is all superstition if you see a white owl - in my opinion you are VERY LUCKY - they are one natures miracles - a truly beautiful creature you could behold.Look into them on youtube. They are so well adapted - and just beautiful. I personally really like them.A white one in the UK is likely to be a barn owl - s/he will be out hunting for mice at night - or sunset/rise in the country - the fly nearly without making a sound.Or you might have seen a snowy owl. In my opinion anything that beautiful can not be a bad omen. I think people from whom these legends come from were just frightened of the dark.
What does it mean when you see two owls at night?
uhm i think the omen is true because my mom saw an owl in the daylight time and a few weeks later my grandma died without much of any sign or warning.........it was just last week when she died, and about 3 weeks before that my mom saw the owl...........
