@ and Owls

[cookiemdough]

Is there a superstition surrounding owls? There are some cute things but I thought they were bad luck or something? I guess I was surprised they seemed to be a new nursery trend.

Abby's nursery has owls. I never knew they were bad luck. Oops!

I think in some cultures they represent death, although in the US they are usually associated with wisdom.

And being adorable.

G's room is all owls. I like to think it will make her wise.

P's room is vintage owls. I've never heard of owls being bad luck.

DD's room is owl themed. I don't believe in superstitions.

Probably. Most animals have an array of good and bad luck attributes if they've lived around humans for long enough.

I didn't know they were supposed to be bad luck. I do know that MH thought I was insane when I told him I wanted owls in the future nursury. He thought it was creepy.
And then his suggestion was to get this blown up poster sized and hang it on the ceiling above the crib.



He's gonna be a great dad.

I think owl nurseries are cute, but I do associate owls with death a little too. I read "I Heard the Owls Call My Name" in middle school and the Native Americans in the book associate hearing your name from an owl as an omen of death.
