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.

Baby Saw Whet wants to play sardines with you.
Had to look up Sardines:
a game of hide-and- seek where one person hides and everyone else searches for them, and when a seeker finds the hider, they quietly join them in the hiding spot, making it progressively more crowded.
Appears to be a British thing, but do correct me if I'm wrong!
Perfect owl and owl-house match
TIL Saw Whets play sardines.
Dogs play poker, so - why not, right?
I wish there was better ways to share video here. Last night I came upon a scene similar to this photo, but then 2 more heads popped out the same hole and they were all swaying together. T'was so adorable, but it felt too long to make a gif of.
That sounds totes adorbs. I can see it from the description :D
