An owl is the wisest of all birds

The more it sees the less it talks...

*Strix Aluco (n.)
The scientific name of the tawny owl is Strix aluco. Strix is a Greek derivative meaning “Owl.” Aluco, comes from the Italian word allocco. Allocco means tawny owl from the Latin ulucus (“screech-owl”).

*Emblem of Athens
In classical times, the owl was the emblem of the city of Athens. It was the sacred bird of the goddess Athena, a symbol of Wisdom.

*Aluminum (n.)
1812, coined by English chemist Sir Humphry Davy, from alumina, alumine, the name given by French chemists late 18c. to aluminum oxide, from Latin alumen "Alum" Davy originally called it alumium (1808), then amended this to aluminum, which remains the U.S. word.
