For my my mother is someone that I look to when I need a piece of advice. Therefore for me, if I had to choose a word would be Wisdom. The perfect animal for wisdom is and owl. And to continue a past drawing (that I offer to my mother on a mother's day) that I called Wisdom Mother, with a Owl with a little owl. (it may be a cliché but for me it works a lot... oh and if you wonder I considered my father Father Bear, because he is big and cuddly - among other things.)
