Owls and mice are in a relationship called a prey- preditor.  The number of owls are dependent on the number of mice.  If they eat all the mice they would run out of their primary food source.  This in turn would keep them from laying eggs and raising their young.  Their numbers would decrease.  Mice eat insects and plants.  So if they all disappear it would seem logical plants and insects would increase.  The ansewer is: increased owl population would cause a decrease in mice population which in turn would cause an increase in plant population or

Owls are often seen as messengers in many cultures. Googling "animal messengers" or "animal symbolism" will provide thousands of links.\n\nGenerally speaking, owls are a symbol of secrets, of seeing through masks, keen sight into matters unknown, a link between the world of shadow and light, (Probably because they are most often seen at dusk and dawn, the transition time.) clairvoyance, magic, deception, omens and portents, and other such stuff. Basically, just about anything considered occult.

The Owl\n\nThere are approximately 135 species of Owl, seventeen which are found in North America.   Their secretive habits, quiet flight and various calls from whistles, screeches and hoots,  have made them objects of superstition and even fear in some parts of the world. Some native tribes see the owl as a symbol of death while other tribes believe they embody the mysteries of shamanism and sorcery.   \nIndividuals with this totem are private complex people and don't like others to know what they are really thinking. This can sometimes lead to misunderstandings especially in the area of personal relationships. \n\nOwls have many abilities which set them apart from all other birds. Their wings which are extremely soft and thick, allow them to fly silently as they can swoop down on unsuspecting prey.  They are able to slip in and out of places unnoticed and can  teach us how to do the same. \n\nTheir eyes are large and forward facing giving them a wise appearance.  They have a greater range of motion in their necks than any other animal with a spinal column. Owls turn their heads rather than their eyes, which are stationary.  Their night vision is so powerful that they can see prey when the light is the equivalent of a candle burning 2500 feet away! \n\nTheir powers of vision are matched by their almost otherworldly hearing abilities.  In studies done with owls that were placed in totally light free rooms, the owls were able to locate a mouse by sound alone. Those with this medicine are usually gifted with clairvoyant and clairaudient abilities.  Souls who are born with this totem have chosen a path which suggests a need to refine and perfect these gifts for the aid of others. They make excellent therapists, psychologists and counselors. \n\nActive at dawn and dusk owls are sometimes referred to as the night eagle, a messenger from the darkness and a guide through all the mysteries that it contains. It teaches us how to embrace our personal darkness without fear.  Owls are sometimes thought to come to those that are about to die.  This does not mean a physical death as much as it means the letting go of some part of yourself that is not serving you.  Owls with their spectral senses help guide us through the dark tunnels of fear, change and uncertainty to the brilliant  light shining at the other end.  If the owl appears in your life thank it for its willingness to guide you through its shadowy realm to the other side of promise and joy.

Interesting question! As I do not know the answer, I started researching. It appears that other mammals are also collectively known as flock: camels, goats and lions, at least. \nHere's my two cents: \nThe term "flock" derives from an Old English word (flocc) which meant "a group of persons". Later it extended to mean "a number of animals of one kind moving or feeding together" applied to domestic animals. \nSo the question could be "Why are not all groups of domestic animals called flocks?"

Ravens and all birds are considered to be messengers. As I speak there are 4 outside picking up the deer corn. Do I consider this a message. No. But last year one came and sat on the top of the gazebo and wouldn't shut up. Very annoying. About an hour later the phone rang. My daughter had just been rushed into the hospital in premature labor. What's really great about the ravens is they have a plan. About 10 or more get together and each has it's own job. One takes one road and the other ones have thier own road to monitor. When one finds food, they call to the next one, which calls to the next one and pretty soon all of them are there eating. Owls on the other hand are considered messengers of death or soon to be dead. So watch those hooters. Oh, and usually if you see an eagle, a raven is not far away. Well, where I live anyway. I just answered this ? yesterday. Now as i sit here typing, there's a Bald Eagle sitting out on the ice in front of our house. And inching closer. The only thing I can figure is, the ravens were here yesterday eating. If he's bringing a messenger... This has never happened before. Maybe I should go out there. Oh...he's walking this way!! For true.

Its the bird group, your daughter is correct. I know it is confusing, because  it seems so simple. But they group animals by bird, mamal, reptile, amphibian, insect in 2nd grade, so Bird is correct.
