In Arab mythology, owls are seen as bad omens.

In India, owls are considered bad omens, messengers of ill luck, or servants of the dead. It's not uncommon for someone doing something foolish to be called an 'owl'. However, the owl has been considered wise and given a place of prestige in Indian mythology. For instance, Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, rides on an owl. Even in present times, some people of India, particularly Bengalis, believe that if a white owl enters a home it is treated as a good omen by relating it to the possible flow of money into that home.
