      There were a lot less owls to name in the world back then! 😆

      Little Owl is extremely famous. It is the companion of Greek goddess Athena and Roman counterpart Minerva, and is one the classic ancient Greek coin and is a popular symbol on many other items from ancient to modern! The Germans loved them so much, they brought them to New Zealand to share with them. They call it Stone Owl (Steinkauz).
