Wildlife rehabilitation workers have to wrap up sharp-clawed owls during treatment for their own protection as well as the owls’. And then they take pictures for their blog Owls in Towels. https://owlsintowels.org via @metafilter

May 26, 2025, 6:37 PM@overholt @metafilter It looks really pissed off. And it's understandable.
I think the burrito is angry 😆
May 27, 2025, 4:28 AM@Cadbury_Moose @overholt @metafilter no, that's Owls in Cowls

I was a Maine rehabber for over 20 years. I remember the first owl. She was very young. I called our vet after I got her home to see when I could bring her in. He said " I hope you have heavy gloves". I was like, ah, no, she and I are just sitting here on the tailgate of the truck. I could feel his head shaking through the phone lol.
@debrashannon @overholt @metafilter I wish I remembered what I had done in a similar situation. I was in grad school; a girl I knew had injured her foot and couldn't drive her standard transmission. She called me and said a baby great horned owl had fallen onto her deck, and would I drive it to wildlife rehab. I got there; her cat was looking at the bird like WTF is this, and the owl was looking back like "don't even think about it." I think somehow we got the owl into a box...
@overholt @metafilter As you would
@overholt @metafilter omg — THE EYES! squeeeeee 😍 🦉
I can’t quite tell what emotion that owl is projecting. I just know it looks like it’s what I feel like most days right now.
@overholt @metafilter Those eyes say "I dissent!"
@overholt @metafilter that look of "Whoo the fuck are you"
@overholt @metafilter That's Owls with Scowls in Towels, methinks.
@overholt @metafilter amazing, the FAQ page is pure genius
@overholt @NorcalGma2 They are on here as well, at @owlsintowels 😄
@overholt @metafilter Now this owl is a frood who knows where their towel is.
May 26, 2025, 11:10 PM@LordCaramac @overholt @metafilter a hoopy frood! or possibly a hooty frood
@overholt Toweled owls always have this "Wait till I get out of here" quality in their eyes. @metafilter
@overholt @metafilter Ohhhh the indignity.
@overholt Wrapped raptors

Hate in material form.

@overholt @metafilter This is perfect.
@overholt @metafilter why does he look like he has a quest for me?
@overholt @metafilter @MartaLatour 😍Eulis
@overholt
Well. Towels. And: 42!
@metafilter
@overholt @metafilter
Finally, the Superb Owls we were promised.
@overholt Uh, they have a mastodon feed: @owlsintowels
Douglas Adams was right. A towel is the most incredibly useful thing.
Do owls in towels move their bowels?
