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.

A man walks into a bar with an owl on his shoulder.
He says to the bartender "I bet you a hundred bucks this owl can talk!"
The bartender accepts and tells the man to prove his claim.
The man turns to the owl and says "Who gives you water and lovely owl food every night?"
The owl answers "H'you!"
The man asks the owl "Who was the President of China from 2003 to 2013?"
The owl responds "Hu!"
The man asks "What's the greatest British rock band of all time?"
The owl promptly answers "Who!"
The bartender has had enough of this nonsense and he throws the man and his owl out of the bar.
As the two of them are sitting in the alleyway, the owl turns to the man and says "Led Zeppelin?"
