When you consider they are associated with wisdom, you have to wonder why a group of Owls is called a Parliament.

Wise? Maybe. But for centuries, especially during the Middle Ages, the owl was the symbol of death. Many artists included small owls in works to remind the viewer of the constant presence of death.
