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.

Buffy Fish Owl 马来渔鸭
"Third Eye Mode On "
"Daddy Buffy" ruffles its feathers to clean them, revealing its nictitating membrane-a translucent third eyelid that slides horizontally.
This "third eye" blinks across its bright yellow eyes to protect and moisten them."

"That owl is the Avatar!"
Looks so freaking awesome and badass
It makes sense a fish owl would be an avatar, seeing as they've already mastered air and water.
If they gain control of fire please warn me
That's why you guys need to check in here for owl news every day! If it happens, you'll see it here first.
I don't know if it would cause avatar the last Airbender or Pokémon but I'm here for it!
Korra spent all that time on the pro-bending circuit, so no reason Buffy can't avatar during business hours and do pokemon battles on the weekends. He's gotta live it up while he's in his physical prime after all. 😄
He deserves some time to relax just like you and I. Especially with all the vampire slaying he does at night, wait am I thinking of the wrong Buffy?
