Mod post: New Automod command !foundbird
If you see a post where someone isn't sure what to do for an owl they've found, make a comment containing
!foundbird or !foundowl to get an automatic response with care instructions. Example in the comments!
Extra thanks to u/JSN79, u/Big80sHair and u/Dihydrogen-monoxyde for helping write the Automod response.
Other wildlife experts, feel free to provide feedback about the response in the comments and I can edit it if it's needed!

Mod post: Self promotion is ALLOWED if it's OC
And it has always been allowed, so... please stop reporting artists sharing their cool owl-focused creations!
The main (hopefully obvious) exceptions to this are:
- Promoting products using stolen art or AI generation (not OC)
- Spamming the subreddit; posting the same creation more than once to farm engagement (posting WIPs during the process doesn't really fall under this, just posting the same thing multiple times)
- Non owls
Other than that, if you think someone's self promotion is low-quality or you just don't like it, you can always input your opinion with the downvote button.
To artists: Feel free to share the links to your websites/shops; you deserve attention for your work. Comments with links need me to manually approve them, so they might not be visible for up to a day, but you aren't breaking any rules - so go for it!

ID request! What Owl is This?
Yo chat, saw an owl at 9am in Snoqualmie-Baker National Forest at Mount Dickermen in Washington state.
What owl is this? Closest I got was Spotted Owl but I am no expert but he seemed medium or larger 🤔
(The last two are internet pictures.)

Watching a documentary about Japan and a lonely man buys an owl. Seems really irresponsible. He has no idea what he’s doing.
The owl seems happy enough. But to be trapped inside a tiny Japanese apartment doesn’t seem like much of a life.

Burrowing Owl at Prairie Dog Town
Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) standing outside burrow at Black-Tailed Prairie Dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) town at Golden Prairie Bison properties near Valentine, Cherry County, Nebraska. Quite a few of them were seen at the town.

Owl visiting my lawn
This big beautiful owl (great horned owl?) has been visiting my yard pretty much every afternoon around 3-5pm. It usually flies away when I take the trash out but today it didn't. I don't mind it coming, I just want to make sure it's okay or should I contact a local sanctuary? I'm in Chandler az, my garden does get watered at 330pm. There's a 60+ft tall eucalyptus tree behind my back wall, I can hear owls hooting from it most nights.

Owl I keep hearing at night
I keep hearing an owl at night. I hear it and it makes sounds while flying around almost always. it's not the same sound over and over again, although I have heard an owl like that near here, but it's different types of sounds. I am 100 percent sure that it's the one same owl though. for me it is late summer and I live in Greece. I have google it but none of the owls provided sound the same. idk if this is enough information for even a wild guess. I will add that I hear it quite late at night though (11 pm to early morning)
