Went to IKEA the other day and came across these stuffed animals/hand puppets based off the Snowy Owl. Very soft and pretty darn cute
Skogsduva = forest dove. I'm not sure if owls would be a little offended by that?

For owls that are superb.

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.

It seems to be the name of a collection of forest thing themed items, not just the owl itself.
Real Skogaduva looks like a slightly cleaner pigeon.
Surprised they didn’t make it more obvious. Skowlgduva or such.
Especially, as the Skogsduva exists for real and doesn't look like a snowy owl at all.
Quite a stack of Snowies!
I came across this caffeinated chocolate at the hospital grab n go:
The web site shows they have a few types, all with different owl motifs.
A bottle of wine for Christmas - I simply had to buy it.
I remember seeing articles for the Barn Owl themed Tyto Alba wine coming in a box that is a bird house. Not sure if it was a special edition or if it always comes in the box, I've yet to see it in person.
