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

Was out on a walk earlier today and wanted to do something sort of Christmas related and try and help people pass on virtual presents in the form of community suggestions.
What is a community you think more people should be subscribed to and why?
My answer is https://lemmy.world/c/superbowl ( Superb Owl, not Superbowl. It’s a community about birds, not americal football) and there is frequently high quality images of owls posted which I find cute and I wish I could take shots like that. P.s. I know birds aren’t everyone’s thing, but I wanted to use it as an example.
And I the community is NSFW but the name isn’t obvious, flag it as NSFW.
I get that and have sort of looked around by browsing local and all by top 12 hours or so, but I was hoping for peoples personal recommendations of communities they found that might not be obvious in the quadrangle, or have that many posts or great signs to recruit people, but those that are involved love it. In your description I’m trying to make this post to be the equivalent of asking seniors walking around what clubs they recommend.
you make a good point. I seem to recall a thing where an instance won’t pull things if no one is subscribed or some such so I can see it being very possible to miss things. So you have convinced me. All said though I don’t have any recommendations. Im subscribed to a few things but not many yet and are pretty specific niche things I like mbin meta, pathfinder, and free video games.

Did you see lemmyverse.net ?
Thanks. No I haven’t, but after a quick look, I think I’ll go back and browse there later.
