If you find an injured owl:
Note your exact location so the owl can be released back where it came from. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialist to get correct advice and immediate assistance.
Minimize stress for the owl. If you can catch it, toss a towel or sweater over it and get it in a cardboard box or pet carrier. It should have room to be comfortable but not so much it can panic and injure itself. If you can’t catch it, keep people and animals away until help can come.
Do not give food or water! If you feed them the wrong thing or give them water improperly, you can accidentally kill them. It can also cause problems if they require anesthesia once help arrives, complicating procedures and costing valuable time.
If it is a baby owl, and it looks safe and uninjured, leave it be. Time on the ground is part of their growing up. They can fly to some extent and climb trees. If animals or people are nearby, put it up on a branch so it’s safe. If it’s injured, follow the above advice.

It looks like it has a tiny moustache!
It's been such a nice surprise to see some of you guys posting this week! I was starting to get a little concerned that new subs have been down a little and we've fallen off the front page of top communities, so this has been reinvigorating to see. Keep it up!
It's actually nice to pop in for a natter and look at some beautiful nature photos
I've noticed a lot of communities have gone really quiet recently, their mods have either gone completely awol, or have just given up posting.
I've been posting quite furiously on macro photos, awwnverts, mushrooms, spiders and natures patterns in the hope that others may join in (or the moderator take interest) I can't sustain it forever tho...
At least on here there's a bit of life and conversation
😀
Yikes, posting everyday to one place is enough work for me. I crossposted my Tukey Tail to mushrooms for you and I've been subbed to spiders, but I should check in there more.
I try to chat up everyone on here to keep them coming back and interacting. It sometimes works. 😀 We've got to keep at it or no one will though. I never thought I'd be posting this much, or even at all really. I would have picked a better name if I had...
Natter is a good word too. I dont think I've heard that before.
Yep, I'm going to scale back next week and maybe try a different approach....the trouble is I really enjoy looking at photos of beautiful creatures, there's some stunning images out there
I hear you, it is exciting being the "first" to see all the cool photos!
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
