It's fine. I'd add a comma between the two clauses.

I think your sentence is good enough to use. Perhaps you can use other linking words, such as however and but to make your sentence become more natural

Sicahowever and but
There isn't enough contrast between a symbol of misfortune and a foolish creature to warrant the use of either of those words. You would need something like this: Some considered this mysterious bird a symbol of misfortune [, but / ; however,] some called it a good omen.
