It’s well known that the forest service put up platforms for great gray owls to nest. My friends and I went searching last summer for these platforms and found none. Does anyone know where the platforms are? If so, could you DM me? Thanks!

Found during an evening walk in a local nature area. Captured with Sony a6400 and Sony 200-600mm.

Currently finishing a 8 day cruise thru Galápagos where I had an print to see a Short-Eared Owl on the island of Genovesa

Apologies for the poor quality; I was too excited. I saw a birds of prey demonstration today and I have a tattoo of an Eurasian Eagle Owl! It was cool to see it in real life 👏🏻

Just a few hours ago, when I reached home I found out that my grandmother has rescued an owl, I believe it is a young one but don't know it's species from kids who were chasing it and a cat trying to pounce on it, since it was quiet weak and scared. Once I came back I did look up some videos and afterwards gave it some water with glucose and liver hand feeding, since it really was weak and didn't even open its mouth. Afterwards, we heard an adult owl scream and thought it was it's mother and since it had gained a little more strength left it out on the window and it did try to fly but ending up falling down. So, I had to rush to get the owl before the cat did.

But now I'm severely confused about what to do with this owl. Will it be okay to feed it and keep till its strength is up and can fly well? I'm very unsure about it since it may adapt to us and not be able to hunt once released but I don't want to keep an owl either since I own parrots and mynas. I would call a wildlife rehabilitation center or something but I live in a south east Asian country where there isn't one. So, what should I do ?

Located just north of Owen Sound, 1 hr south of Tobermory. Pretty natural area here. My wife had this owl fly to the window last night. We've had a screech calling the last few weeks near our house at sunrise and sunset, and I've heard a saw-whet in the past here, but this at first glance resembled a boreal to me.

Any insight?

We just joined Reddit and heard this is the place for awesome owl photos, so of course we had to share a few of our favourites! 🦉 Meet Cortez, our 13-year-old male spectacled owl at the Edmonton Valley Zoo! He’s full of personality and isn’t shy about showing it. Cortez loves water and can often be found splashing around in sprinklers or water dishes. When he’s not playing in the water, he enjoys spending time with our raptor team and always appreciates a good scratch from his favourite people. We hope you enjoy these shots of him looking as regal as ever! 💕

EDIT: We’re so excited that you all are loving Cortez as much as we do! We’ve seen a few comments asking about the length of his beak, so we wanted to share that these photos are from February, just before he received a trim. In the wild, owls naturally wear down their beaks through hunting and eating prey. However, in human care, while we strive to provide our raptors with a full and enriched life, they don’t use their beaks as much as their wild counterparts, so sometimes they need a little extra help to keep them in good condition. We have plenty more photos of Cortez and are always looking for an excuse to show him off, so we’d love to share some updated shots! We truly appreciate your attention to his well-being and all of the thoughtful questions! 😊💖
