IIRC, and someone with better knowledge jump in please, but I think amongst several Native American cultures this ranks as a really BAD omen.

Cap those chimneys! Owls have bad close up vision because they can't move their eyes and it looks like a safe spot until they fall down there.

They either get in the house where it's dangerous for them, get hurt or starve in the chimney, or worse if a fire gets lit without knowing something is in there.

Thankfully this one was safely released! Let our outdoor friends have a happy and safe holiday by doing your part to protect them.
