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.

What's your problem, can't you see I'm building you a house!
Did Shawn ASK Hector to turn his apartment into a duplex, though?
Owl wants to sleep in the kitchen, bitches when my man's grubbing lunch.
No, this is Pine Street. Elm is two blocks over.
Hector's bout to get hecked.
Reminds me of a time there was a red breasted woodpecker on one of my bird feeders, and a blue jay wanted his turn. So the blue jay hopped up behind the woodpecker and pecked his leg. The woodpecker turned around like "I've been waiting all week for someone to say that!" There was gonna be a brrt sound, a distinctive hwuahahaHAha laugh and one newly hollow blue jay.
Lol. The Bluejay probably had it coming well before that, too. Many Bluejays are the complete assholes of the bird world.
ok. this does look hilarious. I love that look. Reminds me of zoidberg for some reason.
