There are several variations to this custom; in the Ozarks, Owls entrails were sometimes nailed to the door as a protection against witches, but 1). I'm not sure if this originates in Scotland, and 2). it's sorta disgusting. I doubt Bob's houseguests would want to see rooster blood or owl parts when they came to the door.
