From Izzy Edwards
I was absolutely shocked to see not just two, but five fully grown Barn Owls emerge from this tiny hole in the dirt. I have no idea how they all fit comfortably in there! Image taken well after sunset.

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.

That's an interesting piece, and what a tempo. I had forgotten that Bach (CPE anyway, I forget about JS and the others) wrote those really short piano pieces. Seems like they would take quite a bit of skill to play.
I like the style of the channel you linked. Direct, no fluff, lots of useful info. The kind of thing it's getting harder and harder to find, unless you already know about it. I watched one of his videos on Für Elise. That's one of the first songs I remember hearing on the piano, and the first one I tried to play.
I originally just wanted a cheap-ish keyboard so I could learn the pitches for singing. That's really what I'd love to learn. But the piano is starting to win me over.
Piano just seems so useful for anything musically related. You can use it to study theory, you can work out parts for any instrument, it fits into maybe genres of music, and it's pretty fun and versatile on its own too.
I am not playing that piece at the correct tempo! I've been playing about 2 years and I'm happy I'm playing at just a steady rhythm. 😁
