Symbols of wisdom (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owls

'symbols of wisdom' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for owls that I've seen before include "Wise old birds - quite slow" , "Slow (anag) -- birds of prey" , "Avian symbols of wisdom" , "Night birds" , "Members of Parliament" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
