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.

Community Rules:
Posts must be about owls. Especially appreciated are photographs (not AI) and scientific content, but artwork, articles, news stories, personal experiences and more are welcome too.
Be kind. If a post or comment bothers you, or strikes you as offensive in any way, please report it and moderators will take appropriate action.
AI is discouraged. If you feel strongly that the community would benefit from a post that involves AI you may submit it, but it might be removed if the moderators feel that it is low-effort or irrelevant.

The user who posted that posts a lot of stuff that's not AI, so I expect they just saw that picture somewhere and reposted it not realizing it's AI. It can be difficult to tell sometimes and will only get more difficult as time goes on.
I know I've shared this same image myself here before I learned what to look for.
The rude responses are much more bothersome to me. OP wasn't some new account or known Ai spam account. Real contributors here deserve respect and the benefit of the doubt, IMO.
Thanks anon. I like you nearly as much as superb owls 🦉
Appreciate that! I've got your back. Anyone that contributes here by post, comment, or just continued positive support should be treated as one of the owl fam.
I got your back too mate 100% #OwlFamily
Yes, but that poster has been kinda flooding several communities with posts that are cutesy art posts that feel like filler, and border on offtopic.
I admire the dedication to posting content, but I think it might be a bit too much and at the cost of quality.
Who, @ladybutterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone? They are a blessing upon Lemmy and personally their posts to the "uplifting" communities have improved my day on several occasions. Sure, some of their posts are better than others but that's true of anyone.
Thanks Sergio I appreciate it ❤️
