In many parts of the world, owls have been associated with death and misfortune, likely due to their nocturnal activity and common screeching call. However, owls have also been associated with wisdom and prosperity as a result of frequently being companion animals for goddesses.

My books sometimes say it's because their eyes are forward like humans. Having eyes on the *side* of your head like a chicken (like most birds) makes them look silly and not human like. That's what the books say.
