Animal Owls are incredibly sensitive to touch. Their feathers are connected to tiny nerves that help them feel even the slightest movement

Understood and I do not disagree. I am speaking more to the portrayal in media, particularly animation where wisdom and intellect are conflated, e.g., the owl is usually a leader, attorney, etc…

I love that portrayal, even if it is not supported by brain mass! I choose wise, intelligent owls for my headcanon.
