What does the owl's laughter mean?

The owl's laughter means that someone will die.

In fact, owls have been regarded as "ominous birds" since ancient times, and they are also called "mourning birds" and soul-chasing birds among the people. In ancient books, night owls are also called strange owls, ghosts and wanderings, as symbols of bad luck and death. This is really not a feudal superstition, and its accuracy is really high. It is also for this reason that many old people are afraid of having night owls barking, let alone laughing.

The reason why the owl's laughter can predict people's death in advance is because the owl's sense of smell is very sensitive. The human body itself is an electrolyte composed of acid, alkali and salt. When the human body is about to die, the electrolyte accelerates its decomposition, that is, the decomposition speed of metabolism is far greater than the synthesis speed.

at this time, it will give off a smell, which is the smell of carrion. When owls smell this smell, they will fly to look for food. When it can smell the food but can't find the piece of meat, it will make an anxious cry, which is what the folks say is the owl's laughter.

Every old saying summed up by the ancients has been observed and summarized a lot. The ancients found that whenever a night owl gave a strange laugh, people would generally die, so they summed up this proverb and thought that an owl was an unlucky bird.

Living habits of owls:

Most owls inhabit trees, and some species inhabit rocks and grasslands. The vast majority of owls are nocturnal animals, which lie in the daytime and come out at night. It is not easy to see them in the caves or eaves of trees during the day, but some species, such as spotted snipe, striped owl and carved owl, are also restless and lonely during the day and often go out for activities. The species that have always been nocturnal, once active during the day, often fly like a drunk.

Owls mainly eat rats, but also eat insects, birds, lizards, fish and other animals. They all have the habit of spitting "food pills", which have digestive ability, and food is often swallowed whole, and the indigestible bones, feathers, hair, chitin and other residues in food are integrated into small groups and spit out through the esophagus and mouth, which is called food pills, also called saliva. Scientists can know their eating habits according to the analysis of edible pills.
