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.

From Kevin Leung

在市區居然可以拍到猫頭鷹,有別於大多數鄰近城市, 希望拍攝者都帶着對自己孩子般的呵護心態去拍攝,讓 未來年年都看到可愛的猫頭鷹BB在我們的身邊成長

Translators on Facebook and Google kinda stank on this one, so I'll attempt to humanize the output:

In this city I can actually photograph owls, unlike in most neighboring cities. I hope other photographers take care of them as they would children, so every year will we get to see owl babies around us.
