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.

How I felt when I was going to a chiropractor.
(When you're in pain and nothing is working, you'll try anything)
That's one heck of an "adjustment!" 😆
Did it do anything for you?
Nope, made it worse. It was chronic headaches. If he wasn't happy with the pop and crackle of my spinal discs, he'd try harder to contort me. I was not a fan.
Yikes, that sounds terrible! I hope you found something proper for what was hurting you.
I did! It took a few years of trying various things, and in the end a beta blocker was what worked. That and figuring out one of the triggers was sleep deprivation.
Excellent! I'm glad you're doing better now!

This is why you have to clear your variables at the start!
