Although keeping an owl at home presents a number of certain difficulties, many still sometimes decide to acquire such an exotic pet. The basic information on how to keep and feed a nocturnal predator in the house is studied first of all, even at the stage of preparation for the purchase of this bird. But with its acquisition, an equally important and logical question arises, how to name an owl. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the most common names for domestic owls.

Returning to the Roots, or Divine Names for Owls

The owl has long been revered as a symbol of wisdom. Special respect for these nocturnal feathered predators was expressed in Ancient Hellas. Among the Greeks, the owl was considered the companion and messenger of the revered goddess of wisdom – Athena. Therefore, based on ancient Greek myths, you can safely call your domestic feathered pet with such a sonorous name.

The owl Athena is easy to pronounce and reminds of the ancient symbolism of this bird. The name of the ancient Greek goddess will suit both the majestic long-tailed owl, and the small scops owl, and especially the house owl.

It is believed that it was this type of owls that the ancient Greeks depicted on coins along with the face of Athena. In addition, it is owls in apartment conditions that are considered the best option for a domestic owl – due to their small size and minimal difficulty in feeding. You can call the representative of the owl family and Pallada.

The owl’s sound is called a hoot. Owls, and other birds of prey like eagles and hawks, can also screech – a loud, high-pitched yell.

At the same time, owls can not only hoot but also whistle, squeal, click, grumble and laugh in their own way, scream shrilly. Polar owls emit abrupt barking and croaking calls, pygmy owls whistle. They make sounds when there is a reason to declare their territory or during the mating season.
