Have You Ever Seen A White Owl?

I am staying on a farm and since my job involves attending the horses at any time of the day. As I mentioned more than 90% of ‘Foaling’ that is deliveries in horses they take place during night time and there are many other cases which are needed to be attended during night. So I often get to hear the hooting of owls from the big trees we have on the farm. One night out of curiosity I tried to locate where from the call was coming! I could locate a White Owl sitting on one of the nearer branches of the tree. They are medium built birds like a parrot and are quite swift too! I know it is not easy to locate an Owl as they are mostly nocturnal and they are found in wild places. Have you ever seen a white Owl? Do you believe in superstition attached with sighting an Owl? Thanks!

I have seen owls, but never a white one. They must be beautiful. I do not know about superstitions attached to the white owl.

@AKRao24 I never believe in superstitions concerning animals. There are about black cats, they are lovely animals, no different from all other cats.

I have not seen a white owl. Many years ago I caught an owl which was sitting in a banana tree in day time. I don't know how it came there in day time. Out of curiosity I took the bird to home, My mother scolded me for catching the bird (though it showed no resistance when I approached it). She told me it is not good to take that kind of birds, reason still I do not know. May I know the superstitions attached with Owls?

Many people believe owl howling can bring a bad luck to the family. But in china i heard that they believe it as a good omen as they believe Owl is a wise bird and they associate it with Wisdom! Thanks dear @Sreekala!

@AKRao24 I didn't know that. Even I had not asked to my mother why she scolded me.

That is beautiful, I have not seen a white owl but I guess albanism occurs throughout the animal kingdom. What is your superstition there? Over here an owl sound at night ( obviously because they are nocturnal) is a bad omen but I don't believe any of them.

Yes, albinism is as common in animals as it is in human beings ! But white owl is not a albino, its eyes have black pigment so it is a normal white owl! Yes, some people believe that owls are wise and seeing them makes one wiser, while others believe that hooting of owls brings bad luck to the babies living in that locality! Thanks a lot dear friend @louievill ! Have a great time!
