Who We Are To Worship:
We are to worship our Lord Jesus Christ above all else. And we are not to put other things (creatures) before God.

People Worship The Creature And Not The Creator:
……who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. Romans 1:25
While the above Scripture is not talking about an owl, it goes for anything we put before God.
Who God Values More:
We give our worship to God, He in turn takes care of us. He wants us to be kinder to one another. And furthermore, He values people more than birds.
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Matthew 6:26
To Be Adored But Not Worship:
When I see the beauty of a bird, it makes me think of my Creator. He gave these creatures to us, to take care of. But we are not to treat them is such a way to worship them.
