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.

A non rhotic r in horse does not make a non rhotic r in sauce. That’s not a question of rhoticity because how you pronounce the r sound doesn’t matter…its that there’s an r sound at all in sauce.

There is no R sound in sauce.

You agreed with this in another comment regarding the British pronunciation of sauce sounding like ‘source’. That again has nothing to do with the rhoticity of the r in source, only that there is an r in sauce.

There is no R in sauce.

Yet here you refuse to come to the same conclusion that you did on another comment because 🤷

Been pretty consistent on this, dude.

I am not saying this is specific to you, I’m saying this is a difference in the pronunciation of the word. The issue here is the comparison to another word rather than someone just linking side by side pronunciations of the word in question: sauce.

There is no R sound in any of this. As someone else pointed out, it's an "aw" sound. Saws. Haws.

You can type that all you want, but the fact is that there is an r sound when you say sauce . Delusional, I guess.

It's an "aw" sound, like in "saw".
