The ‘screech owl’ (ulula), says Isidore, is named for wailing & lamentation. Its hoots resemble weeping or groaning, & so portend sorrow—but its silence, prosperity (Etymologies 12.7.38).
Liège, c.1300–25

The ‘night-owl’ (noctua) flies only at night due to weak vision in daylight. It is not found on the island of Crete—if one brings it thence, it immediately dies
. The nycticorax is also a night-owl for it loves night & flees sunlight (Isidore, Etymologies 12.7.40–41)
