Are owls really smarter than other birds?

In ancient Greek mythology, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, fell in love with an owl. So the ancient Greeks worshipped the owl very much and thought it was a symbol of wisdom.

Owls are obviously not good at solving problems. According to a study, the black owl (an owl) repeatedly failed in a simple cognitive test (pulling a thread to get a reward), while other birds successfully completed the test, but this does not mean that they are stupid. Studies have found that some owls actually use primitive tools. According to research published in the top scientific journal Nature. It is observed that cave owls use animal droppings to lure dung beetles into their caves, and then they enjoy a feast of worms. However, although the use of tools by animals is always impressive, this does not mean that owls can be characterized as "smart" by any human standard.

Owls themselves have extraordinary abilities in the animal kingdom. Owls are amazing hunters. They have evolved keen hearing, camouflage feathers and unique tubular eyes to help them catch prey.

Owls are similar to people, mainly with big eyes but a face plate. Owls have eyes in front of their heads, and most owls have face plates. In this way, owls have faces (most birds have eyes on both sides of their heads), and they are really similar to people. The expression of always thinking is also because of the above point. Owls don't roll their eyes (cross-eyed), but they have big eyes and sleep during the day. People often sleep when they see it, and then look at people with one eye open, with a calm expression, like a fortune teller in a temple. So people think owls are smart. In ancient Greece, the owl was Athena (at that time, all gods had multiple roles, indicating that people did not have a very fine division of labor.

As a sacred object of the goddess of wisdom (the image of God of War should be the same as that of Miss Sha Zhi among the saints, wearing holy clothes, with the goddess of victory Nick and no owl), which is also a source of owls considered as smart birds.
