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 canβt 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 itβs safe. If itβs injured, follow the above advice.

They look like they made some hard and wrong decisions and now the consequences are imminent.
I was thinking "one of always tells the truth and one of us always lies..."
Lol owls would be perfect for that scenario.
The answer is always to present two mice then sneak around them during the feeding frenzy
Bribery works pretty well in the animal kingdom... π
And in the human kingdom but I have no idea why you are bringing up that trip to Malaysia....
I think I had someone from a huge company try to bribe me once. I'm a nobody so I kinda just panicked and hung up on them. π
I wouldn't be surprised if one of my managers doctored their failed certification for them though...
I worked at company and we had yearly training telling us we were not allowed to bribe foreign officials... I really wanted to reply "you know what I get paid right?"
"ah, king Charles... Would this $5 bill I placed on the table change your opinion?"
I hear political figures can be bought relatively cheap, but I don't think quite that cheaply! Not in this economy! π
That's good... I wanted to use that to buy lunch from the vending machine
Look at this guy....still able to afford lunch around here.... Ok Mr. Rockafeller!
Only because Charles refused my bribe!
What if he ends up wanting your Funions from the machine?
Then he needs to sign the document... No signature no funions! I have limits!
