They would make for a great pet, and would be like vanilla Wolves but they would fly and if any hostile mobs were in the area they could alert you by hooting, since they would be in the air and would be able to see/hear hostiles. They could also be tamed/bred with Rabbit Meat since Owls are carnivorous. Killing them would give negative alignment with the more nature-attuned factions (Wood-Elves, and maybe Rangers?). The alert if enemies are near would be especially useful at night, when its difficult to see, or in Mirkwood. Good idea, except for the alignment thing. Do Rangers care if someone kills an owl? No, they're going through the Paths of the Dead. And wood-elves, well it just doesn't seem that they would get angry that someone went and kept themselves from starving. Maybe not Rangers, but I would imagine Wood-Elves would care, especially because an Owl seems like a pet/companion they would use. And since when are Wood-Elves rational? Thranduil almost got his whole army killed because he wanted some gold and wasn't watching behind him! Maybe it could be like a Boar thing, where if you attack an Owl, the nearby elves might get mad for a short time, then leave you alone again.
