T. F. Thiselton-Dyer, in his 1883 Folk-lore of Shakespeare, says that "from the earliest period it has been considered a bird of ill-omen," and Pliny tells us how, on one occasion, even Rome itself underwent a lustration, because one of them strayed into the Capitol. He represents it also as a funereal bird, a monster of the night, the very abomination of humankind. Virgil describes its death howl from the top of the temple by night, a circumstance introduced as a precursor of Dido's death. Ovid, too, constantly speaks of this bird's presence as an evil omen; and indeed the same notions respecting it may be found among the writings of most of the ancient poets." [61] A list of "omens drear" in John Keats' Hyperion includes the "gloom-bird's hated screech." [62] Pliny the Elder reports that owls' eggs were commonly used as a hangover cure. [63] The flu season in the UK typically lasts for 4-8 months and outbreaks typically occur between December to May. It can begin as early as October if the weather is cold, as the flu virus spreads faster in colder and dry weather. But you can catch flu at any time of year. The Hungry Owl Project". Hungryowl.org.

Most owls are nocturnal, actively hunting their prey in darkness. Several types of owls are crepuscular—active during the twilight hours of dawn and dusk; one example is the pygmy owl ( Glaucidium). A few owls are active during the day, also; examples are the burrowing owl ( Speotyto cunicularia) and the short-eared owl ( Asio flammeus).The Aztecs and the Maya, along with other natives of Mesoamerica, considered the owl a symbol of death and destruction. In fact, the Aztec god of death, Mictlantecuhtli, was often depicted with owls. [70] There is an old saying in Mexico that is still in use: [71] Cuando el tecolote canta, el indio muere ("When the owl cries/sings, the Indian dies"). The Popol Vuh, a Mayan religious text, describes owls as messengers of Xibalba (the Mayan "Place of Fright").
