    That’s not true. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-photo-owl-sitting-crossed-legs-822881945319.

    Cool image though and funny meme.

      Ahhh yeah you can see it, there’s a bit of fluff that looks like it’s the right leg going over, but it’s just fluff.

      Owls are 90% fluff, so this checks out.

        I mean hey its important to note that its not scientifically accurate. I think its a nice meme though as it really does look like criss cross applesauce.

          I agree. I didn’t respond with malice… the truth just stole our collective enjoyment of the idea that an owl could and would sit criss-cross applesauce. There’s just something adorable about the notion. :)

          I considered adding a /s but decided to roll with the down votes… lol

If you find an injured owl:

Note your exact location so the owl can be released back where it came from. Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitation specialist to get correct advice and immediate assistance.

Minimize stress for the owl. If you can catch it, toss a towel or sweater over it and get it in a cardboard box or pet carrier. It should have room to be comfortable but not so much it can panic and injure itself. If you can’t catch it, keep people and animals away until help can come.

Do not give food or water! If you feed them the wrong thing or give them water improperly, you can accidentally kill them. It can also cause problems if they require anesthesia once help arrives, complicating procedures and costing valuable time.

If it is a baby owl, and it looks safe and uninjured, leave it be. Time on the ground is part of their growing up. They can fly to some extent and climb trees. If animals or people are nearby, put it up on a branch so it’s safe. If it’s injured, follow the above advice.

For more detailed help, see the OwlPages Rescue page.
