a beautiful white fully-grown owl perches outside our bathroom and kitchen window (in the chowk) and for the last few weeks it has been persistently hissing or wheezing throughout the day and night. Is it in pain or is it lost...?

No, the bird is not a bad omen. However, the bird sounds like it is ill. Look for a wildlife rescue organization in your area (Google: wildlife rescue [name of town], call them and ask them to come look at the bird. Do it soon because birds who are showing symptoms are usually very ill.

Owl is also a common bird… let him keep screeching, hissing or whatever… it is definitely NOT A BAD OMEN… he might be wounded or indisposed let him live there… it is a beautiful and peaceful bird… and not harmful at all…

It's mating season. It's calling for a mate. There is no bad omen, but what was made up by humans, like the urban legends.

More than likely it is just announcing its territory. Another possibility is that it is looking for a mate. There is no ill omen about it. You should feel very fortunate to see/hear such a wonderful creature of nature.

He has probably made a home there - don't disturb him!
Owls make lots of funny noises naturally, we don't often hear them cos they are too far away.
He is probably saying 'I found a good source of food, I've made a nice warm safe nest, I just need a mate now.....'

no it's probably calling for a mate or it could be a young owl ( young develop all their feathers at about eight weeks old) calling for its parents, but the parents will be ignoring it to try and get it to hunt for itself. it sounds like a barn owl to me.

it relatively is superstition. the way I heard it replaced into, in case you hear an owl hooting exterior your residing house, somebody is going to die. when I lived in TX, my mexican pals swore via it, they have been very superstitious. i might heard an owl various cases, basically as quickly as did my neighbor die. I labored EMS, and we would be those to bypass pronounce human beings ineffective, so i understand no person else had died. residing in WY, we've greater owls around. My neighbor replaced right into a Cherokee, very superstitious with reference to the owls hooting to boot. Any time she heard it, she replaced into terrified that it meant that her ill husband replaced into going to die. specific sufficient, one night, an owl is hooting exterior the residing house, the associates got here around for help, she had died in her sleep. there is been many owls exterior because of the fact then and no deaths. the two deaths of my associates in the process the owls hootings have been basically coincidences or there could be no person left around right here. it relatively is basically a superstition, please do no longer difficulty.

Most likely it sees its reflection and thinks its an intruder into its territory. Thats not uncommon for birds to see their own reflection in glass and think its a challenger. I
