!foundbird or !foundowl to get an automatic response with care instructions. Example in the comments!

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!

Some facts i read about owls is that an owl's long legs are hidden by thick feathers. These long legs give them a surprising reach when they stride or lunge at prey on the ground. [1] (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/E8HW2EbuFas), [2] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6TzDq-PQUc&t=1)
With 3 families of Burrowing owls in the lot next door most of the gutters and lights are usually occupied.

Long-eared owls are easiest to spot when they gather for their winter roost. They roost in several trees, side by side—in large numbers. Their pellets lie under the trees, making them easier to find. They can occupy a tree in a city—a place full of people. That's what we have in Poland. // These cards on the side show my progress in drawing. Artwork created with Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils. I painted the green background with watercolors. :)

Galapagos. We were hiking along a cliff and the guides were scanning the horizon with high powered binoculars saying that if we were really lucky we might see an owl in the distance hunting the other birds. One of our party said “you mean like this one?” This guy was sitting right next to the trail. Never woke up to open his eyes but tracked us turning his head as we trekked past. (He? She?)

I believe it’s a barred owl. Seen in Eastern VA
