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.

A little owl #birdweek
Román Díaz's Owl, can be found in the book Drawing Origami volume 1
I use to be really into origami as a kid, maybe I should get back into it. I still have the books even...
I think we should change the expression from “a little bird told me” to “a little owl told me”.
Creativity knows no bounds
I'm always amazed at the first people who think up the art forms and the shapes for it. Like how do you even formulate this in your mind? Just awesome.
I am enjoying this cross promotion!
I just realised that owls might be the most popular bird in origami. I took a quick look within my books and there were at least a dozen different models of varying skill levels.
I was pretty shocked when I went looking for YouTube videos trying to find the sleeping owl you did first, and I didn't find that one, but I did find many others.
I'm pretty biased at this point on them, but even before that, they've always been very intriguing to me, and seemingly near everyone throughout human history.
Almost every culture seems to have good and/or bad owl myths, they live everywhere humans do, so everybody knows what some type of owl is, and they are capable of being beautiful and scary all at once.
I didn't keep my sleeping owl, but I put the other one I made with my other stuff on my messy work desk and when my coworker came back, she noticed it immediately and recognized what it was.
I'll have to give some others a try sometime. I haven't done any origami since grade school, and it was fun to have another go at it. Scrolling through your community feed, there are many great designs out there. When I do, I'll be sure to share it!
It he who knows ten thousand things! I absolutely love it!
Superb!
