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.

I am always curious about the hierarchy between my jays and squirrels. They both want to be the one to get maximum peanuts from me, but there is much back and forth on which will be more aggressive about getting them on different days. I want to know how they decide who gets priority, and when it's worth trying to muscle out the other or to hold back. They seem pretty evenly matched.

Maybe it's an unspoken round-robin experience. Sorry, I couldn't resist. 😋

If I get any recording, I can share with you. I'm hoping we pull off something passable! 😜 I know the first 2 other people from previous adult student meetups, and I think I've heard the third person play too, and we all seem capable enough for these songs.

I hope you do, I'm eager and nosy! We tend to be our harshest critics, right? I have every confidence in you and your group. Sure, sure, there's always room for improvement -- and plenty of room to appreciate improvements accomplished, you know?

I feel I share a lot for someone with an "anonymous" name, but I feel what I share could be helpful to other people, so whatever. If nothing else, we all go through crap now and then, and it's healthy to see other people do too every now and then, plus a lot of my stories have positive endings these days.

That's exactly right. I've worried I've shared too much here, and looking back just at the time I've spent on Lemmy, I can see where I've grown, where my mental health has stabalized. A lot of times, growth feels like pain and loss, and it is! We have to lose the unhealthy that we've normalized and cling to, to get any idea what normal and healthy looks like, feels like, and how to live it. And modeling healthier behavior patterns shows others what's possible, for themselves, even if they feel overwhelmed, at the moment. It seems you're also in an even keel, but in the place in life where you have plenty of opportunity to practice in real life. I'm honored to have shared a little of our path together, and encouraged when the pace picks up, I'll be able to practice my new skills successfully as well.Thanks so much for sharing.

Apologies for typos etc. My screen reverting to the top of the post, so seeing if it renders correctly is challenging me. Time to reboot?
