In the book it tells us that the toxic fallout from World War Terminus wiped out most animal life; and it was the owls (for reasons unknown) that succumbed first.

Perhaps because of their notable demise artificial owls command higher prices than other less culturally significant species.
But most likely the script writers never gave it a second thought...
