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.

I aspire to #7
1 with a hint of 2. Although I wish my hair was as good as #1
Ooh I love these! I'll take #1. Tired and a bit strung out!
Solid 2

I was back and forth between 6 and 7 today.
Curiously, I think that a) this is our first repost, and b) both times it was cross posted from somewhere else, so somehow people have not managed to find our excellent community yet! Talk about missing out! 😮
Not a criticism of course, just a bit of trivia since I know I've seen every post and also somewhat positive in a strange way as I'd been worrying we've played plateaued in new people here. Keep spreading the word. Cross post more of our stuff in their groups! Get some new owl memes out there. We had the Short Eared Sandwich Owl today... I'm sure there's gotta be something there! 😁
Mmmmmmm . . . Short eared sandwiiiiich . . . Aagghhhhhhhllgh
Are we of the agreement that 6 is getting attacked by the other birds in the image? If so then definitely a 6.
That was my thought in choosing 6.
Definitely a 4.
