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 A Place Called Hope
Our Great Horned Owls prop has helped so many nestling staged owlets not imprint on us caretakers. When birds imprint, they pay attention to detail. That is why we skip the toy puppets and use life sized photograph cardboard cut outs to block ourselves when we feed. This baby is growing fast and next in our queue for returning to the treetops. Three owlets so far this season. Two back up with adults successfully and this one scheduled when our team is rested and ready.

Looks like you already voted for me. It seems you can vote for a different person each day, but not the same person twice.
I still appreciate the support though! 😁

Thank you for giving a hoot! 🦉 😜

Did I do it right? Wasn’t really gonna participate but you deserve it ❤️
The bot says you did good! Thank you!
I thought it was a joke at first, but it's still going, and the person running it even voted for me too, so it seems legit!
I coudn't say no to a chance at free money for the cause. The Owl of the Year Awards I paid for gave credit to World and not me technically anyway. 🤪

Thank you so much! 🦉
I hope you win! Looking at the posts in this community makes my day :D
That always makes me so happy to hear!

I think you might just be able to give me as a user one vote total if I'm reading the rules correctly, but it's also you can only vote once in 24 hours exactly, so I'm not positive you can vote for me twice or if you're early.
I think I was early. I'll try again in a while

I might be under my 24h limit
I think they've been clarifying the rules. It looks like you can't vote for the same person twice, regardless of time.
I still appreciate it though! 😁❤️
