Q: No, but really, why?
<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

A: Owls are amazing! They are truly extraordinary creatures that serve a critical niche in our ecosystems. So naturally we want to help the ones that are sick or injured, and celebrate the people who do this work.

But watch out! Bird-handling is dangerous. Owls have sharp beaks and claws, and they WILL put up a fight. Experts protect themselves (and the owls) by wrapping owls in towels. This keeps the owl motionless, and allows the handler to complete tasks like weighing them and giving them food, medication, and xrays.

We like to see owls in towels, because it means people are helping owls<\/em>. This site exists to document and share stories of owls in towels to as many eyes as possible. If nothing else, to add momentary cheer simply by showing owls receiving treatment. No ads. No sponsors. Just owls being rescued, treated and rehabilitated by people who care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is vital we protect the co-inhabitants of our planet, particularly the fluffy flying fauna of the order strigiformes<\/em>. They make the world wonderful, the globe gleeful, and nature neat. This goes for all animals of course, but owls get a special mention because \u2014 and I know you’ll agree with this \u2014 they are awesome<\/em>. Helping owls is one of the small ways we can give back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
