In
France. If you find an injured bird, make sure it is really injured before you act. Often the bird is simply stunned. It may fly away in a few minutes if you leave it alone. Birds often become stunned by flying into glass windows .Keep children and pets away from the injured bird. A young uninjured bird is rarely abandoned by its parent(s) who will continue to feed it. Should you find a young owl on the ground carefully place it in a safe place in the nearest tree (1 to 2 meters high) where it will be safe from predators, the parent will not be far away. Do not give an injured bird water. Food should only be offered if YOU KNOW what the bird eats. If you do offer food you may wet it a little with water. Be VERY careful with Hawks and Owls. Their sharp claws and beaks can do a lot of damage! Wear a pair of good gardening gloves or carefully wrap it in a soft towel. Prepare a cardboard box, choose something that suits the bird and be sure that it is not so big that the bird will be bounced around inside it during transportation. Make some holes for aeration, not too large, place some paper in the bottom.
