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.

Burrowing owl Endangered at Aruba due to loss of habitats. December 2024
The Shoco (Athene cunicularia arubensis),a sub+species of the Burrowing Owl, is Aruba's endemic owl. It has lived in Aruba for at least 1.5 million years. Development and tourism is endangering the remaining Shoco population, which was estimated at 200 breeding pairs in 2013.
The Shoco is a proud symbol of the island, with its face gracing their money, stamps, businesses, and more.
it looks as if it is done with your shit >=(
i always like the RBF ones. they're so cute
Grouchy owls are some of the best owls!
It's funny how an angry looking face can make you smile in the right context.
