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.

Lol no problem. You're one of the people here able to teach me owl stuff.
I thought there were your everyday, natural chicuahtli, but also the Chicuahtli that was the companion of the god of the underworld. I could very well be wrong there though. That was the mythical one I referred to.
I'm just glad you were here! When I looked up the right way to spell your username to take you, it looked like you hadn't posted anything for a couple weeks.
Think of it in terms of bat, vampire, vampire bat, and Dracula. There are bats, vampires can turn into bats, and Dracula is a lord of vampires. Not all bats are the species vampire bat and usually you wouldn't go around calling bats Dracula (unless you're in a situation involving vampires and/or you're hunting Dracula). Dracula can turn into other forms other than bats.
When Teotl shapeshift they turn into forms of specific animals known to the indigenous people. The core important animal forms get names (like a Dracula) while they are in that form and are considered gods themselves. As far as I'm aware there isn't a specific owl deity or at least I haven't found a reference yet.
As far as my posting history is concerned, I'm both a hermit in cyber and meat space.
Lol well I am glad you de-hermited temporarily for my sake! I always learn some very cool stuff when you pop up.
Thank you for the explanation!
