owl

An owl is a type of bird with big round eyes that can see well at night. It's often found in quiet places like forests.

People usually talk about owls when they want to say something wise or mysterious, like "The professor was an owl who knew all the answers." This comes from old stories where owls are seen as symbols of wisdom and cleverness. For example, if someone asks you a tricky question and then says "aha!" because they figured it out, you could tease them by calling them an owl for being so smart.
