Common in works set in a world of magic and mystery, [[The Owl-Knowing One|owls]] are often seen as pets or familiars. In some stories, owls are even able to speak, and can communicate perfectly with their masters. These kinds of owls can easily play a serious role in dramatic works, or serve as comic relief in more lighthearted stories.
 
It's worth noting that in the United States at least, it's illegal to obtain an owl without a license. So most pet'''Pet owlsOwls''' in real life are often found in places like rescue homes, where the goal is to return them to the wild after saving them from certain death.
 
Can overlap with [[The Owl-Knowing One]] and [[Familiar]]. Regardless of the owner's opinion, is not to be confused with [[Super Bowl|Superb Owl]].

* Bubo, Athena's owl in the original 1981 ''[[Clash of the Titans]]'', whom she duplicated as a robot that she dispatched to accompany and advise Perseus. It's debatable whether robot!Bubo actually qualified as a pet, at least to Perseus.
