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.

From Stowarzyszenie Ochrony Sów (Owl Conservation Association)

A church from Pomerania in Poland had an owl stuck inside for 3 days. It had eluded the people there and even the fire department. Finally the Owl Conservation Association was called in!

When Karol arrived, he was greeted with the Barn owl perched on a cross, I'm assuming the one in the photo. It did not want to be caught though, and despite being weak and hungry, it escaped behind the decorative organ pipes.

Karol and crew used thermal imaging goggles to track the owl behind the pipes, trying to direct it to people waiting to catch it and to keep it from getting stuck in the pipes.

They got it out from behind all that, but it still refused to be caught. The people spread out to block all the hard to access spots, and they moved in to herd the owl to a good place for capture.

Finally it was caught!

It was severely starved, but it was given food, comfort, and supervision, and quickly regained energy and bounced back well enough to be released the next day!

I had to look this up, as I am usually lost on meme culture, but I am thrilled to see the appreciation for the beavers. They are one animal I really want to work with!

I did know *kurwa *from Kingdom Come, though 😜
