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.

The Northern Boobook belongs to the family Strigidae and is a raptorial owl endemic to eastern and southern countries of Asia. The species was considered, until recently, a conspecific of Ninox scutulata or brown boobook, a species of similar distribution encompassing 11 subspecies.
Thank you for this wonderful pose and opportunity to photograph you. We all appreciate you

"is that... Is that an ant crawling on my head...?" Poor guy looks terrified ha
Someone probably told them what their common name is.
I didn't even know that was there! 😄 I'd only seen this on my phone until now.
Nobody likes bugs on them, no wonder it's so stunned looking!
( O v O )
It's got its eye on you!
"I left the oven on."
This is me when I forget my wallet on the dresser and spend the whole day wondering if I really just forgot it again or if I lost it somewhere. So agonizing!
Boo book? MFer looks like it's about to get put into the Boo Box
Oh jeez, I haven't seen that in forever and do not remember that bit at all! Kid movies were different back in the day... 😦
Definitely worth a rewatch! So many A list actors giving each and every one of those characters the best performance ever
There's so much it can't unsee... 🫢
He's seen things.
They almost look like they could see a few seconds into the future! 😶
Like the precognition of Evadne Cake?
because she tends to reply to a question right before it has been asked. Yet, if she has replied and then the person decides not to ask the question, she gets a terrible headache.
Maybe.:)
Well, the Northern Boobook was considered to be the same species as the Morepork until 1999.... You may be on to something!
😯 I didn't know about the origins of the city's name. I learned something today.
Yes, yes! The Morepork is New Zealand's only surviving native owl.
Pre-fried legs 😅
But those eyes 🥹
Lol double breaded for an extra crisp taste.
If you love giant eyes, a hawk owls always satisfies!
The owl has the sparrow hunting eyes of my black cat, she loves to stalk sparrows and looks just as bigeyed as the boobook.
I don't see how anything could escape eyes like these!
