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.

This sneaky little lady has been living inside a Shoprite store in Thokoza for the last few weeks. She was a difficult customer, had all her hiding spots well mapped out, just in case some owl rescuers came knocking. That's Jacob in the photo, he's their security gent who offered a great deal of help in rescuing her. We don't often tag company rescues anymore, but we know Shoprite South Africa loves owls
I remember this guy - this is South Africa, right?
Good ~~man~~ men at work there.
Yup, him and his wife go all over the place, driving or flying hours to bring these animals back to fix up. They're really living the dream! They seem like really great people having a great time doing what they love, so I always enjoy seeing them pop up in the feed.
I think Men At Work is Australian, not South African.
