Maybe some of you remember my post about the eagle owl Isolde, nesting with four chicks in the eifel region of germany. They are all grown up now. Look at this cute and feathery gang!

Great photos! In the last, they seem aware of the camera. Thanks so much for sharing these!

Too precious!

These were the ones in the castle type ruins?

Glad to see more Eagle Owls in the world! Good luck, little ones!

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.
