If you get daily language exposure some other way then why not. But if the owl is the only thing ties you to your daily exposure then you'll have nothing.

This sounds suspiciously like some form of Stockholm syndrome.
That's how human brain works through constant exposure. If you don't care learning the language and honest with yourself about it then it's fine too. But this topic is mostly about the people who do want to learn the language.
to learn another language it's critical you use it as often as possible, in an ideal world you want to completely swap out your native language for the one you're learning, that's the reason for the streak, to keep you engaged in the target language to help you learn, it's not like a snapchat streak which is completely pointless
