How about watching owls?

It is neither bad nor bad to watch owls.

In fact, seeing owls is no different from seeing other birds, and nothing ominous will happen. The key is not to believe this false superstition.

There are some folk sayings in our country, for example, "When a night owl enters the house, he is afraid of the night owl's barking, but he is afraid of the night owl's laughing". Owls are often regarded as "ominous birds", called ghost birds, mourning birds and so on. In ancient books, they are also called strange owls, ghost cars, ghosts or wandering as symbols of bad luck and death.

The main reason for these views is that owls have a keen sense of smell and can sniff out terminally ill people and laugh. In many places, there is no superstition that owls will die within a few days after hearing their cries, so owls are called mourning birds.

In addition, owls lie down during the day, go out at night, and fly quietly like ghosts, and often only see a flash of shadow, which makes it easy for people who don't know much about their behavior to have all kinds of terrible associations.
