The first photo in which the stone owl looks “friendly” at the roof of our stable
A better translation would be: "The first photo in which the stone owl from the roof of our horse stable has a 'friendly' face"
The translator was probably confused by the verb "dreinschauen" which (roughly) means making a certain facial expression.
Thank you. I always like when someone that understands can clear up these finer points.
I believe this was just Facebook's built in translation, which usually seems pretty bad, especially with animal related words. This one seemed pretty short and simple, so I just grabbed that. Longer and more technical things I run through Google Translate and usually have much better luck.
Excise me that's an owl.
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.
