    There’s no rule in Jazz music that says an Owl CANT play trumpet.

        The ability to form a air seal with lips is is Insignificant next to the power of TV tropes

          You’re coming dangerously close to arguing music is sports and idk if I have the wit currently to keep this joke spinning properly.

            Requires skill, mistakes affect everyone on the team/on stage, lots of rules and timing- I can get behind music as a sport.

            music is sports

            Huey Lewis and the News would have something to say, and it probably includes a trumpet.

Posts must be about owls. Especially appreciated are photographs (not AI) and scientific content, but artwork, articles, news stories, personal experiences and more are welcome too.

Be kind. If a post or comment bothers you, or strikes you as offensive in any way, please report it and moderators will take appropriate action.

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.
