This is a common misconception due to the owl always being depicted as wise in human culture. In actuality, owls are pretty much on the same intellectual level as most other raptors and birds, if not less intelligent on certain occasions. They can be used in falconry though, which requires intelligence for the bird to learn what the falconer wants of it, but owls do not always make the best falconry birds.
