SINGAPORE -


Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong shared on his Facebook page that he found a surprise visitor

in his office yesterday morning.

A barn owl had flown into his office building at the Istana overnight and made its perch on a wall ledge high above.

According to PM Lee, they contacted the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) and the Jurong Bird Park

to ask for assistance.

The owl was later safely relocated somewhere behind Sri Temasek, another building within the Istana compound.

PM Lee also commented that "the Istana grounds are a green refuge for many species of birds and animals. "


We should preserve and create many such green spaces all over our island, so that in our urban environment

we can enjoy the natural flora and fauna of Singapore."

Owl is considered a bad omen
Also, in the native Cherokee culture, as well as many other Native American cultures, owls are a very bad omen. It is said that if you are outside in the broad day light and an owl flies over your head a family member or loved one would die within the coming week.

In Arab mythology, owls are seen as bad omens

T. F. Thiselton-Dyer in his Folk-lore of Shakespeare says that "from the earliest period it has been considered a bird of ill-omen, and Pliny tells us how, on one occasion, even Rome itself underwent a lustration, because one of them strayed into the Capitol. He represents it also as a funereal bird, a monster of the night, the very abomination of human kind. Virgil describes its death-howl from the top of the temple by night, a circumstance introduced as a precursor of Dido's death. Ovid, too, constantly speaks of this bird's presence as an evil omen; and indeed the same notions respecting it may be found among the writings of most of the ancient poets."[41] A list of "omens drear" in John Keats' Hyperion includes the "gloom-bird's hated screech."[42] Pliny the Elder reports that owl's eggs were commonly used as a hangover cure.[43]

Africa[edit]

Among the Kikuyu of Kenya it was believed that owls were harbingers of death. If one saw an owl or heard its hoot, someone was going to die. In general, owls are viewed as harbingers of bad luck, ill health, or death. The belief is widespread even today.[30]

You said preserve and create many green spaces, and yet many green spaces were destroyed under your watch.

And SPH porlumpar presstitutes should dedicate a page or column specifically for Pinky's Facebook updates. Why not release an app for that?

Owl Meanings in the Realms of Animal Symbolism

The owl is sacred to the Greek goddess of learning, Athena and is even depicted on some Greco-Roman currency as a symbol of status, intelligence and of course, wealth.


In ancient Egyptian, Celtic, and Hindu cultures the symbolic meaning of owl revolved around guardianship of the underworlds, and a protection of the dead.

In this light the owl was ruler of the night and seer of souls. A misunderstanding of this necessary relationship gave the owl some negative associations with death.

It should be clear that the owl was honored as the keeper of spirits who had passed from one plane to another. Often myth indicates the owl accompanying a spirit to the underworld - winging it's newly freed soul from the physical world into the realm of spirit.



Being aware of the owl's symbolic meanings is a good way to connect with this fascinating creatures, and also become more in-tune with the owl's wisdom.

When we connect with the owl in its own environment, and according to its way of life, it helps in deciphering the messages the owl has for us. Why? Because owls and all creatures ofthe animal realm are pure energy, and they come from a place of wholeness. As such, they communicate in a unified voice. They speak in the language of the trees, the wind, the moon, the sky, etc. Learning the owl's habitat is a great way to learn her language, and more clearly understand her voice when she chortles in our spiritual ears.
