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 the National Aviary

The National Aviary is dedicated to avian conservation. Our efforts in safeguarding the majestic Eurasian Eagle -Owl population are a testament to that commitment. Facing severe declines throughout Europe in the 1900s, these incredible birds still experience challenges today, such as habitat loss, pesticide exposure, and infrastructure collisions.

Through our work with The Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Eurasian Eagle-Owl Species Survival Plan® (SSP), we've made a significant positive impact on growing their population in human care. Thanks to our amazing owl parents, X (mom) and Dumbledore (dad), we've welcomed 12 chicks into the SSP program, including our newest Animal Ambassador, Vera!

By maintaining a genetically diverse population for at- risk species and studying their behaviors, we're taking proactive steps to ensure their future survival and alleviate the environmental and human-led pressures faced by declining populations.

These 2 little ones hatched in April this year. I missed getting to see them by a week, but I did see both parents!
