      Same. I’m just hoping it doesn’t turn out like the cute frog photos.

        Ugh, I read about those frog photos and that’s not cool. 😦

        These photos are real, but it’s the photographer’s captive owl. I won’t weigh in on that, but she is in compliance with German law.

        You can see her website or there is an extensive article on the three of them from Medium if you want more details.

    They are both incredibly photogenic, made for the life in the spotlight

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.

For more detailed help, see the OwlPages Rescue page.
