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.

For more detailed help, see the OwlPages Rescue page.

Tbh upside down hawk is oddly relatable ‘me when I am woken by the doorbell and fall from a dream all the way to the doormat’

cocaine bear is the kind of fella that would break into your jeep for the peanutbutter, find you r stash of weed, then wind up robbing a 7/11 for the slushies.

Cocaine Owl is the kind of fellow that tries take over the world because some idiot didn't have the coffee ready. Quite probably a Sawhet. Probably flanked by Great Greys and daring you to make a short joke.

(Fun fact: napoleon wasn't actually short, he was just always surrounded by his giant body guards built like greek gods.)

It just noticed that hawk creeping a view at its cloaca.

Do you have the rest of the painting?

Hope this works

Flip! Turned up the light a little bit too.

Also found these attributes to the same artist.

Hares, partridges and hunting attributes

Lièvres, perdrix et attributs de chasse

Lol that's weird as it hang in the museum owl side up. I don't think I have a picture of the full painting nor the wall though

Maybe it's a modern take and a reversible picture. They turn it every other day.
