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 canβt 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 itβs safe. If itβs injured, follow the above advice.

From Natural Lands
Eastern Screech Owl babies are hatching this time of year. After 30 days of incubation, the hatchlings will remain in the nest for another month, being fed by their parents. Sadly, these tiny owls are in steep decline. Consider installing a nest box on your property, as they adapt well to human presence.
The babies have exceeded the size of Mom's belly patch!
Whom*
That's the one I was looking for! π€πΌ
(at 3am π )
When I saw the comment I had to think about it to see if I really did get the grammar wrong or if it was just a reference to this! π
I do believe I was wrong. I also typo-ed a date, making it 2925, so it must have been a rough morning.
Whom's keeping who warm?
Who's whom who warm?*
Ah thank you, I am not a native English speaker.
To be clear, the correct usage in this case would be: "Who is keeping whom warm.", though I hope the joke came across more than the "correction". π€ππ½ββοΈ
Who hoom whoo hoo whoooom whom?
As you can see, the phrase in its original HΕ«ΓΌm dialect loses a great deal in translation.
