Wildlife Question

Me

[GQuagmire]

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?

[Larry Lucido]

Take it to Hooters?

[TaMoDee]

Better yet a CAT!

[seowulf]

Yell at it, “Get off my car!” just like you yell at the teenagers to get off your lawn.

That ought to work.

[Texas resident]

But you will have to yell it in owl language.

SCHREEEEECH!

[TexasGator]

Move out of MA.

[curdogmen]

did not know that owl’s raise babies during the winter...strange...

Grab a box of Spotted Owl Helper from the grocery store if they aren’t sold out.

“Owl wait for an answer.”

Who do you expect to answer?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Unless you have to go some where and need the car leave it be. It will fly off when it is ready.

On the other hand if you have chickens then chase it off before the silly things have heart attacks.

[moose07]

Don’t go near it.
If Mother is watching she may go into attack mode...you won’t like that.

Owls are said to often be screen memories for alien abductions.

Do you have any unexplained new scars or missing chunks of skin?

Does it hurt to sit down?...

Owl of the people who read the question of course

Its Spring

[Alberta's Child]

Adopt it and raise it as if it was your child. Then you could marry it off to a meathead and produce a 1970s-throwback sitcom called “Owl in the Family.” :-P

[PIF]

Makes a great hood ornament

[USS Alaska]

Use barbecue sauce and don’t over cook it.

[Bob434]

capture it and put it to work hauling a little red wagon around the yard as you rake the lawn this spring- hire it out to neighbors- put a craig’s list ad stating ‘owl for hire’- take videos of it working it;s little toes to the bones and charge people to watch it- Then when it’s done- can’t work anymore- sell it for table fare-

No sense letting this golden opportunity slip away-
