From ANIMA

From running the Greek through a few translations, it sounds like these are the babies of unreleasable Eagle Owls. But the babies will get to go free after they have been properly raised by their parents, just as in the wild!

Greek TextΓια τον μήνα τον καλό σας έχουμε μπουφάκια ολόφρεσκα νέας εσοδείας (δικιάς μας), από μη απελευθερώσιμους γονείς στο Κέντρο Περίθαλψης, στα Καλύβια. Όπως και τα περσινά και τα προπέρσινα όταν έλθει η ώρα θα τοποθετηθούν σε κλωβό σταδιακής επανένταξης και θα αποδοθούν στη φύση.

Also a pair of unreleasable Barn Owls, with their babies, and a helpful uncle in the background as well!

Greek textΚαι άλλη εγχώρια παραγωγή, τυτουδάκια στα Καλύβια, εδώ βοηθάει και ο θείος το ζευγάρι, όπως φαίνεται...

Don't give them names or you'll be unable to release them too!

(yes I know you're not the caretaker)

The trick is to take care of so many animals there's no time to name them or get attached! 😅

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.
