wanna see an owl? My son is holding it!
#61
we have barn owls in our attic, they have come back for about 6 years now, we try blocking them out but they find a way in anyway. this year my husband is going to make an Owl Box and we're going to see if they will nest there (because they really stink up the room they nest over, and their babies are cute but very very loud)

If you want to feed it take a tiny bit of raw hamburger in a bobby pin or small tweezers and hold it near its beak. If it is hungry it will eat it. Remember it will poop on whatever it is standing on.

No, no, no. You cannot feed raptors hamburger - you will do far more harm than good! Many misguided people do this and by the time the animal is brought to a rehab center it can have metabolic bone disease and be unrealesable to the wild. Please don't try to feed or give water to any animal in need of help. You must keep it safe, warm and quiet until you can get it to a rehab center. No food, no water - you might just kill the very animal you are trying to help!
Betcha the mommy is hiding from you. Remember that ows have such soft feathers you can't hear them fly.
