According to a greek tradition when it lands on a rooftop and starts to sing, that's a sign of death in the family living in the house.I found a tyto dead in my garden this morning. superstitions or faith? ? anyhow you have rendered the idea very well. Tyto dead in your garden......... i dont believe anybody will die in your family because you are a priest of God. Superstitions have no place there. tony

No superstitions (although I find them interesting and funny) . I thought it was quite ironic to find a dead death-bird. No, they do not bring death. Actually they prevent death by eating mice, rats and snakes that can cause health problems.... Thanks Tony
