If you have an injured burrowing owl, other raptor or bird:
Live injured owl
Do not try to feed!
Catch it: It could hurt you or you could hurt it.
Use heavy leather gloves. Talons and beak are very sharp and strong. Approach from behind the owl. Throw a blanket over it. Leave the blanket over it and gently scoop the wings into the body keeping its back toward you and its talons pointed away from you. If you keep its head covered so that it cannot see, it will be easier to handle. Put it in a pet carrier or cardboard box with air holes. Keep quiet. Do not show the owl to pets or children. Deliver it to the Raptor Center, Davis or neighboring counties listed below.
