Double Trouble
(lemmy.world)
You're not seeing double, these Great Horned Owl siblings were admitted to the rehab center yesterday after they were BOTH found tangled in the same soccer net at a local school! The maintenance employee spotted our entangled pair and carefully removed them. They were brought to the center for exams as both had bruising due to being caught for an unknown amount of time.
Soccer and sports nets are a major hazard for owls and other birds of prey. Because owls hunt at night and are highly focused on tracking prey (like mice that gather near athletic fields), they often fail to see the netting and become hopelessly tangled. As the owl thrashes around to escape, the netting wraps tightly around its wings and legs, leading to severe fractures, dislocated joints, constricted blood flow, and torn feathers. Young, inexperienced Great Horned Owls are especially prone to these accidents as they learn to hunt on their own.
The easiest and most effective way to protect local owls is to remove sporting nets from the goals after practices and games, or simply tip the entire goal frame over so the netting lies flat on the ground.

Community Guidelines
Blåhaj Lemmy is a space where everyone should feel able to participate safely, and to that end, our community is built on the guiding philosophies of empathy, inclusion and acceptance.
Empathy
We want our community members to be guided by compassion and empathy for others.
Examples of behaviour that are contrary to this philosophy are personal attacks, insults, doxing etc. If your comment is designed to hurt someone, this isn't the space for it.
Inclusion and Acceptance
Embracing inclusion and acceptance means listening when people tell you who they are and what their needs are. It means not telling people that you know their experiences better than they do. It means not gatekeeping experiences of identities of others. It means no bigotry such as racism, sexism, anti LGBT commentary, ableism etc. It means doing your best to ensure that you don't over-talk the voices of folk who don't share your privileges.
Supporting Blåhaj Lemmy
After much hesitation, we have a Ko Fi to enable people to help with supporting some of the running costs associated with our instances.
Providing a safe space for our community is the goal, so please only consider donating if you are in a position to do so without any financial stress.
