Since ages the owls are associated with superstition. They are considered to be bad omen not just in India but in many other countries as well.
As noted by Salim Ali, the 2 most common beliefs across India are, these Owls would predict the future by telling in a human voice and the other one is to find a lucky bone of the bird that would move against the water current!!
The Indian eagle-owl is a species of large horned owl found in the Indian Subcontinent. They were earlier treated as a subspecies of the Eurasian eagle-owl. They are found in hilly and rocky scrub forests, and are usually seen in pairs.
