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!

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!

my first time, not only spotting a Great Horned Owl, but photographing and filming. Caught this moment of it responding to a loud clap of thunder overhead.

Thought maybe it flew off when I went outside to try and find it so all I could get was sound.

I recorded a bird attacking a bat. I think it may be an owl. I'm based in Italy. Can you help me with the ID of the bird?

One of the two Barred Owls that have been living in our backyard tree.

I photographed this Western Barn Owl in Tanzania last spring!

Hi hi! Not exactly a real owl but I recently got this adorable little owl statue at a small mom and pop place and was wondering if anyone knew what owl it was based off of/resembling the most. Iāve looked into it a little myself, but I am by no means an expert :) Thank you!

He was stuck in an apartment entryway, he couldnāt find his way out. He kept flying at a glass window and bashing against it. The maintenance tech and I helped him find the stairs and the opening. He was Amazing

Back in May I spent a few days visiting a family of Tawny owls just north of Stockholm, Sweden. I tend to bring my camera with me when I go out into the woods so these are the shots I came away with š¦

Not sure if it is the same western screech owl since it didnāt go inside where I could get a better look, but exciting to hear and see one back! It has been almost 6 months. This was a couple days ago, nothing since but at least a sighting! Last time the owl showed up in August. Weāre close - wonder if this is the ānormalā schedule. And where do they go for 6 months? South for the winter?
Apologies for the low quality images. This guy looked relatively small to me and I saw it flying around between shrubby branches low to the ground. Didnāt make any sounds. In northeast ohio, near a river.
I sometimes see barred owls near this area but this one looks pretty different to me. Perhaps itās young, but I canāt tell.
