Owls are not related to the traditional raptors, the Falconiformes and Accipitriformes.
They are actually more closely related to Caprimulgiformes (“Goat suckers”). The best known goat sucker around these parts is the whip-poor-will.
Owls are generally not as easy to train for falconry as the traditional raptors, but they can be trained.

owls are very wise and they are even said to be sacred to indians of the plains i myself Love owls
