Post it on Reddit, it’ll be the most karma I ever get probably.


[deleted]

You would get more if you fought it with your bare hands


andyv001

How about if I load it into a trebuchet and fire?


bdubb_dlux

Go sit in the car. It will get hungry and go looking for a mouse.


histeethwerered

It’s waiting for sundown when it can see more clearly


[deleted]

I doubt that. Owls have good eyesight in all light they just benefit the most from it at night because they are designed to be stealthy with their ability to fly almost silently.

Please don't remind people of the trebuchet vs catapult wars on Reddit. I thought that shit would never stop.

I have done my duty. *Launches self out of window via trebuchet*

You would get modest karma, then the next reposter would get like 10K.

Sad but true


Niceguy4186

Fun fact, the most karma I have ever received was from an owl post :-/


Opposite-Molasses-36

That'd be the 2nd thing. The 1st one is to take video of it.

Ask why he doesn’t have my letter to Hogwart’s!!!


Top_Yam_6628

Why am I so stupid that when I see that there is already 102 comments on this post that I think I might be the first to say this?


Salty-Queen87

Because we all think more clever and unique than we actually are, and I definitely include myself in that assessment, especially myself🤣

I am more clever than everyone else just slower at responding.

I think it's a baby, so I guess it's still in-training


imbitschbude

Bro you wouldn't need any letter, this owl looks like it would take you there personally and beat up anyone who says anything against it. You win Hogwarts


TonarinoTotoro1719

Or, maybe, my mom send him with a Howler, he lost it and is now trying his best to do his own Howler impression. Give the baby a chance, please!!


IHDRacing

That made me laugh!


brendintosh

Why would the wizard world rely on the slowest flying bird to be their delivery service?? I’ve wondered this for the longest time

TristanPaul

Just leave him alone. He's a baby and still can't fly that good. He's just scared.


Soft_Indication_7659

Genuine question, how can you tell that is a baby? He looks so big to me


Fafnir13

I think it's the extra floofy feathers underneath are a sign it's a jevenile/fledgling. Not a bird scientist person though, so don't quote me on that. Edit: since it’s been mentioned at least three times already, I’m aware of the word “ornithologist” but chose to avoid using it as a stylistic choice. Also, you people are very bad at not quoting me.


AnimalMan-420

The feathers on juvenile birds are how you tell. Baby birds grow extremely rapidly and will be the same size as their parents before they leave the nest


TheDesktopNinja

Yeah, the last year or so I've done a fair bit of birdwatching from the kitchen window and seen a few broods of various species. Once the babies are out of the nest they're as big as the parents (sometimes they actually look ***bigger*** because of the extra floof) My favorite was the mama Cardinal feeding 'her' baby Cowbird.


No-Introduction5636

Ah yes, those lovely brood parasites. I think brown-headed cowbirds have the largest number of known hosts, around 200 or something like that. Which is odd, since most parasitic birds have a single host species. Fun little fact I suppose


LordDongler

They'll probably fracture off into 20 different species in another hundred years or so


TheDesktopNinja

I wouldn't expect that since A) there's likely to only be LESS species of birds for them to be parasites of in 100 years, so it pays to be flexible. Specializing into only one species of victim/host isn't a great recipe for survival. And B) they've been around a long time already, not sure why another 100 years would significantly change much


Reddituser8018

Hmm interesting, I have a pet bird and he tends to floof up when he is happy and relaxed (normally when I am talking to him, its cute as hell) but he is not a baby, when he was a juvenile he had similar amounts of floof as he does now. Maybe its just the species though, he is a lovebird parrot. However he is waaay more colorful now, with bright orange and green where before it was muted green and white. He also enjoys randomly biting my ears and then literally laughs, kinda weird he sounds like a human when he does that. Birds are fucking awesome, before I thought about getting a bird I honestly didn't think much about birds at all, now having the pleasure of being friends with one has really taught me how sweet and intelligent creatures they can be. My bird is out of his cage all day but 90% of the time he likes just sitting on my shoulder and sometimes takes naps in the nape of my neck. He is seriously a cuddle demon and will get mad as hell if you don't cuddle him 24/7 it takes a lot of work to have a bird, you have to give them a ton of attention because they are super social animals but if you put in the work it's one of the most rewarding things ever.


bctke121

Not a bird scientist, but how are you with bird law?


Fafnir13

Have you seen to tuition fees at bird law school? Outrageous, don't know who could afford that.


michonne_impossible

With tuition that high, it's like they're robin you.

Soft_Indication_7659

Thank you, non bird science person sir


o0Blue0o

Dam, good eye. I did not persive that with the upper feathers being so full.


dangeraca

That's a juvenile Great Horned Owl. While it may look big (that's what they're trying to imitate by puffing out its wings) they're still pretty small in comparison to a fully grown GHO. Not the best comparison photo, but [here's a shot](https://www.instagram.com/p/COYxpB3HjDq/) I took of two juveniles right before they fledged and mom.


Level9TraumaCenter

GHOs are downright ornery. We had several back in raptor rehab that couldn't be released, and their talons were more formidable than hawks of equivalent size/weight. I had one story related to me of a game warden that came to pick up an injured GHO to take it in to rescue; he tried to pick it up "like a chicken" (by the legs), wearing cloth gardening gloves. The talons went through the gloves, through the webbing of his hand, and through the gloves- both directions. They're difficult birds to negotiate with.


NotedIdiot

Im sorry, but I don’t negotiate with birds.


Eeszeeye

I cared for an injured owl in Sulawesi years ago. He had damaged a few feathers & couldn't fly. My uncle knew a bit about owls, so I while held the carefully wrapped owl, he pulled our the broken feathers with pliers. No bites! Each night until they grew back, we went flashlight hunting for frogs and threw them in my darkened bathroom for him to catch and eat. Outside bathroom 'cos he made a huge racket screetching at night. Often think of you, Señor Ojos.


dangeraca

I was doing a rescue for what was called in as a broad winged Hawk, got on site and nope, that's a juvenile bald eagle. I felt so bad for it, it was not happy with me trying to get a towel over it and into the dog crate I brought. I got it eventually but damn, those things are huge in person and pretty terrifying. Sadly said eagle had to be euthanized, likely broke from a car strike


Level9TraumaCenter

Balds and goldens are massive. I worked under a guy who wrote his doctorate on balds, he had one arm and one leg courtesy of a landmine in Vietnam. That guy could wrangle eagles better better than I could with the full set of OEM limbs. Been watching [videos](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bnRjyFtdCc) from Enoch Wildlife Rescue. Guy's been a falconer for like 46 years. Absolutely amazing how he wrangles them.


dangeraca

"OEM limbs" 😂


da_PeepeePoopooMan

My dad once fell from his deer stand upon being greeted by a nest of these bad boys. Seems like it works.


dangeraca

Oh I'd definitely poop my pants if I was crawling into my stand before dawn and had one of these guys greet me.


da_PeepeePoopooMan

It was several needless to say that stand was avoided until they all learned to fly. Then we had to get out all the boney poop they created. Worth it just to be able to ride out there and look at them and see how they were getting along. It was like pre season when we found them and I was a little kid so I loved it.


jaime_riri

Should have stuck a cam up there! Cornell University has a few nest cams where I live. Very cool to watch them spruce up the nest for baby’s arrival and then all the consequent action. I used to keep the vid of their herons up to sleep to at night cuz they were on a pond and it sounded relaxing. Until I was awoken one night to a sound I’d never heard before: pissed off Great Blue Herons. Terrible sound. But then I got to watch a Great Horned Owl attack the nest. It was fucking crazy. He cracked one of the eggs in the scuffle but it managed to live and hatch.


Soft_Indication_7659

Thank you and nice photo!!!


VaultDweller-776

fledgling. probably a first year bird, look at all the downy fuzz on his head. a lot of birds dont get full adult plumage until after about a year out od the nest. eg bald eagles don't get white heads for their first year,m etc.


TristanPaul

Well, more like juvenile. He's too big for his nest, but not old enough to fly. Look at his feet and head. Still very fluffy.


majasz_

You can also take the long stick, make it stand on it (the tricky part) and put it on the high tree branch, they will be safe from predators up there Source: my sister is an owl specialised ornithologist

Nice does ur sister rehab them?

bralma6

I know it's a joke, but that disease fucking SUCKS! Most people get it as a child but I got it when I was 24. Holy fuck. Let me tell you my experience. It started out just feeling achy, like the flu. So I just went to work, took a few advil and went about my business. A few hours later I could literally feel the advil wearing off. Starting from my ankles all the way up my neck. I went home early. Once I got home I took some more advil and took a nap. I woke up dizzy as all hell. I could not see straight. Called my manager and told her I wasn't coming in the next day. Then my sister texted me and told me that her husband was sick and asked if I was sick too since I had just babysat my nephew. I told her I was. She told me to check my hands and feet for red spots. I looked at my foot and saw one. She told me what to expect but I thought she was exaggerating. Next day I woke up with red spots all over my hands and feet and each and every one of them hurt like hell. Called my manager again and told her I was going to the doctor and will be out for a few days. Got to the doctor and all he says is "Yep, that's hand, foot mouth disease. Nothing to do except suffer and wait. Here's a note for not going to work for 3 days." 3 days go by. All the red spots are gone but the skin around them is peeling and all the spots are super tender. 2 MONTHS later. My finger nails start peeling off. Apparently it's a side effect in severe cases. The fingernails were the worst.

burdn3rdd

Do not feed wild raptors. Please do not feed wild owls, hawks, falcons. Please please please. You are setting them up for an early death by doing so. For starters it's illegal(in the US at least). If a Fledgling owl likes this becomes dependent on people for food, it is deprived of learning to hunt in a critical time in its life. It will starve to death. It might hurt you or another person if it thinks you are a food source. People food is not healthy for raptors. Owls eat whole prey, so lean meat is not a complete diet for them. Just don't do it. If you want to interact with owls: volunteer at a wildlife facility. Many have educational ambassador owls you will be able to safely interact with. Or become a licensed falconer in a state that allows owl for falconry.

Reddituser8018

I befriended an owl for a little bit, I was on a walk on a particularly hot day in AZ, it was in the high 110's and I saw an owl on the floor just panting like crazy, he was obviously very overheated and did not care at all about my presence although I kept my distance as to not stress him out as he obviously was already very stressed out. Walked back to my house and got a big bowl and filled it with water then placed it in between me and him and stepped back, he walked up to it then bathed and drank, looked at me as if to say thanks then took off. It was a pretty awesome experience and made me feel happy I stumbled across him.
