    many people that see a owl are blessed with good luck .....OWL: Cherokee [Indian] shamans viewed Eastern Screech-Owls as consultants on punishment and sickness. The Cree believed that the whistle-sounds of the Boreal Owl was a summoning call to the spirit world. Other Native American traditions hold that the owl represents vision and insight. In Africa the owl is associated with witchcraft and sorcery. Australia, China, Greenland, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia and Sweden all have cultures or mythical traditions that give spiritual significance to the owl.

    As I recall as far as bird signs go, owls mean you need to pay attention to details and such around you because there is some info you need. Owls are signs of knowledge or the necessity of knowledge. While I don't believe in any of this (sometimes a bird is just a bird), if you choose to believe to my understanding the only bird you have to worry about is a black crow flying on your left side. If it flies on your right side you are in for a defeat but you'll live, if on your left side and not flying you'll be seriously hurt, and on your left side and flying is death. But again, I would argue a bird is just a bird.

    It means there is a nice tree nearby that the owl likes to hang out in.

    Owls are a good thing, they keep the rodents in check from the streets. I don't think you will die if you see a owl in the middle of the night.
