A baby owl is sitting on my car. A juvenile horned owl I believe. We’re all sitting here wondering if to leave it alone or not. I live on a busy street on the North Shore in MA. What do you think?
You could call your local ASPCA...or the zoo if there’s one in your area.
Winner winner chicken dinner!
It’s end times, man. Mad Maximize your dinner!
Wash your hands!
Or the Mass Audubon Society.
If it’s not injured, it should fly away as soon as you approach or start the car.
Leave it alone the Folks are around somewhere,probaly waiting for you to back off.
I had a Fawn, few hrs old in my back yard, almost tripped over it, last spring.
Left it alone went out a few hrs later it was gone.
They take care of there own if left alone
Owl wait for an answer.
Been a hoot-owl howling outside my window now
‘Bout six nights in a row
She’s coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we’re both gonna go
Ugh...I hate that song.
Agree.
Now HG really. Being a juvenile and sitting on your car it may not know how to “lift off” and fly away. Suggest you get a long broom handle and keep it low, move it slowly towards the owl at his feet level. If he climbs on it, easy to lift it a little and he will fly away if he can. Or just the broom coming toward him (again low) might get him to fly away.
The owl parents take care of their young for some time after they leave the nest. You should leave it alone.
I’m wearin’
Fur pajamas
I ride a
Hot Potato
It’s tickling my fancy
Speak up, I can’t hear you
Here on this mountaintop
Woahoho
I got some wild, wild life
I got some new to tell ya
Woahoho
About some wild, wild life
Here comes the doctor in charge
Woahoho
She’s got some wild, wild life
Ain’t that the way you like it?
Ho, ha!
Living wild, wild life
I wrestle, with your conscience
You wrestle, with your partner
Sittin’ on a window sill, but he
Spends time behind closed doors
Check out Mr. Businessman
Oh, ho ho
He bought some wild, wild life
On the way to the stock exchange
Oh, ho ho
He got some wild, wild life
Break it up when he opens the door
Whoahoho
He’s doin’ wild, wild life
I know that’s the way you like it
Wo ho
Living wild, wild life
Peace of mind?
It’s a piece of cake!
Thought control!
You get on board anytime you like
Like sittin’ on pins and needles
Things fall apart, it’s scientific
Sleeping on the interstate
Woah ho ah
Getting wild, wild life
Checkin’ in, a checkin’ out!
Uh, huh!
I got a wild, wild life
Spending all of my money and time
Oh, ho ho
Done too much wild, wild
We wanna go, where we go, where we go
Oh, ho ho!
I doing wild, wild
I know it, that’s how we start
Uh, huh
Got some wild, wild life
Take a picture, here in the daylight
Oh, ho!
And it’s a wild, wild life
You’ve grown so tall, you’ve grown so fast
Oh, ho ho
Wild, wild
I know that’s the way you like it
Oh, ho!
Living wild wild wild wild, life
-Talking Heads
Or a hawk will take care of it.
No good to eat. Let it alone.
Take advantage of the opportunity to ask it how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop.
I will adopt it in no time, let me know
Wrong, leave the frigen thing alone and stay away
That's a good idea, but I wouldn't have thought of it because I don't live in Mass.
It may fall into the category of "Squab" and many recipes are available.
