"And wild animals shall meet with hyenas; the wild goat shall cry to his fellow; indeed, there the night bird settles and finds for herself a resting place."

edit:
The word lilit (or lilith) only appears once in the Hebrew Bible, in a prophecy regarding the fate of Edom.[3] Most other nouns in the list appear more than once and thus are better documented, with the exception of another hapax legomenon: the word qippoz.[45] The reading of scholars and translators is often guided by a decision about the complete list of eight creatures as a whole.[46][c] Quoting from Isaiah 34 (NAB):
(12) Her nobles shall be no more, nor shall kings be proclaimed there; all her princes are gone. (13) Her castles shall be overgrown with thorns, her fortresses with thistles and briers. She shall become an abode for jackals and a haunt for ostriches. (14) Wildcats shall meet with desert beasts, satyrs shall call to one another; There shall the Lilith repose, and find for herself a place to rest.
Eberhard Schrader (1875)[50] and Moritz Abraham Levy (1855)[51] suggest that Lilith was a demon of the night, known also by the Jewish exiles in Babylon. Schrader's and Levy's view is therefore partly dependent on a later dating of Deutero-Isaiah to the 6th century BC and the presence of Jews in Baghdad in the Neo-Babylonian Empire, which would coincide with the possible references to the Lilītu in Babylonian demonology. However, this view is challenged by some modern researchers, such as Judit M. Blair (2009), who argues that the context indicates unclean animals.[7]
Needless to say this is not the Lilith most people are thinking of.
Lilith (/ˈlɪlɪθ/; Hebrew: לִילִית, romanized: Līlīṯ), also spelled Lilit, Lilitu, or Lilis, is a feminine figure in Mesopotamian and Jewish mythology, theorized to be the first wife of Adam[1] and a primordial she-demon. Lilith is cited as having been "banished"[2] from the Garden of Eden for not complying with and obeying Adam.[2]

Screech owl is the translation of "lilith"
You are terribly ignorant.
You are reading a different translation that leaves out the word Lilith for screech owl.
Lilith is a demon in the bible. One google search and there it is. Amazing how you can't do that.
Looks like someone didn't read my post
I read enough to prove you wrong.
Sorry you don't like that, but I hope you learned something.
