In ancient Greece, the little owl was revered as a symbol of wisdom associated with the goddess Athena.

Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Little Owls in Bakeries

Why did owls often enter old village bakeries and barns?
Bakeries and granaries stored large quantities of grain and flour, which naturally attracted mice. Owls moved into these warm buildings because they provided abundant food and shelter.
How small is a real little owl?
A full-grown little owl is quite small, measuring only about eight to nine inches in height, which allows it to squeeze easily into small gaps under eaves and beams.
