In western culture from ancient times to the present, owls have symbolized and are synonymous for wisdom and knowledge. To be “wise as an owl” is an allegory for a person who is extremely erudite as much as calling somebody “a donkey” is a metaphor for being seriously obtuse. The fact is, owls are not wise in the context of how we perceive wisdom as much as donkeys are not stupid, but owls do have some amazing capabilities.
