      Nope, CMOT Dibbler - Ankh-Morpork’s great entrepreneur and salesman of dubious products - is bringing rat-on-a-stick (and sausage-inna-bun).

          Ketchup costs extra!

    It’s like someone put cat ears on an owl!

      They have some of the best owl ears around!

      If you didn’t know, their ears are actually hidden under feathers next to their eyes, and the things sticking out of their head are just feather tufts called “plumicorns!”

      I love that word.

      Yay! I got to learn a new thing!

      Rim lighting is a technique used in photography that involves illuminating the edge of a subject to create a halo effect.

      Owls are true stick connoisseurs!

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.
