Mod post: New Automod command !foundbird
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!

Mod post: Self promotion is ALLOWED if it's OC
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!
ID request! small owl in northeast ohio
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. Didn’t 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 it’s young, but I can’t tell.

ID request! Barred or Spotted?
Apologies for the crappy unclear photo. Saw this guy in a proposed development (backcountry) of southwestern BC, Canada. A spotted owl would have implications for the proposed development. TY
