Two days ago, when chatting with an old farmer, I heard the old farmer say this sentence: "The owl enters the house during the day, and prepares for the aftermath without asking." Because this sentence is somewhat obscure, therefore, although I have pondered this sentence for a long time, I have not been able to think of the meaning of this sentence, so I have to ask the old farmer for advice, and the old farmer tells me that the meaning of this sentence is as follows:
The so-called "owl" actually refers to the owl, because the owl is a bird of owl purpose, so people also call the owl "owl".
Owls are distributed in all continents except Antarctica, there are more than 130 species of owls in the world, and the owls distributed in China mainly include eagle owl, black eagle owl, snow owl, yellow-footed fishing owl, brown fishing owl, long-tailed forest owl, Ulin owl, gray forest owl, brown forest owl, red horned owl, collared owl and so on.
The owl is shaped like a cat, and its surrounding feathers are mostly brown, scattered with fine spots, dense and fluffy, and can fly silently. Its head is large and wide, its mouth is short, its sides are flat and strong, its apex is curved, the base of its mouth has no wax film, and it is mostly covered by hard feathers, because its eyes are fixed in the eye sockets, it cannot be turned at all, so the owl has to constantly rotate its head to observe the surroundings. According to the test, the neck of the owl is able to rotate 270 degrees in the left and right range, which is called the "bird neck with the largest rotation amplitude".
The owl's left and right ears are not symmetrical, its left ear canal is significantly wider than the right ear canal, and the left ear canal has a well-developed ear drum, so the owl's auditory nerve is very developed, and it can hear distant, very small sounds.
Owls also have a very sensitive sense of smell, similar to that of cats. As a result, many odors can be distinguished, and odors can be smelled hundreds of meters away.
Owls are nocturnal animals that prefer to lie diurnal and nocturnal. During the day, owls are generally hidden under trees, caves or eaves, and are not easily seen, but at night, owls move around in search of prey.
In general, owls mostly prey on rodents, but in special cases, owls also hunt animals such as insects, birds, lizards and fish. At the same time, owls are also fond of the smell of carrion, and once they smell carrion, even during the day, they will try to find carrion to feed them.
Whether it is a person or other animal, when it is about to die, it emits a special smell, which is often not perceived by us humans. But for owls, they can easily perceive that when they perceive this particular smell, they will fly out of the nest in the daytime and "smell by smell".
Speaking of this, it is estimated that everyone will understand why it is said that "the owl enters the house during the day, and does not need to ask about the future". Because, the owl is usually not active during the day, and, very afraid of people, when they dare to fly to a certain house in the daytime, this family is afraid that the patient has appeared terminally ill, before the patient is about to die, its internal organs have undergone qualitative changes, has issued the smell of rotten flesh, so the owl is smelling this smell of carrion before entering a certain family. In this case, the family members should prepare for the patient's aftermath.
The above is the meaning of the sentence "The owl enters the house during the day, and does not need to ask about the aftermath".
After listening to the old farmer's explanation, I finally understood what the meaning of this sentence was. However, I personally think that this statement is somewhat absolute, and there are not many examples to prove it, so I am a little bit unconvinced.
