    Just a small correction: I don’t know about Danish vs German owl law differences, but Tanja seems to be German, as evidenced by the .de suffix and her page being in German 😁

      Bird Law isn’t governed by reason…

      Dang it. My morning brain took the .de as Dutch, which would still be wrong for a couple reasons. I’m bad with remembering TLDs. Thanks for the correction!

      Updated my comment with some more specific info for Germany.

        …still a bit morning brained? Dutch people are from the Netherlands, not Denmark 😄

        We’re called Danes here, or “Danish people” if you’re not into the whole brevity thing 😁

          Yes, it is quite the embarrassing pile of mistakes. 😔

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.
