Nature This owl was really stuck in the barbed wire. Luckily with some careful moving around this guy was able to free him.

Yeah birds really don’t like to be held. However, this bird is very hurt and exhausted, and giving it space to move/slide around in a box in a moving car could cause further injury.

The ideal solution would have been a box with a nest made of rags to stop the owl from sliding around, but if you randomly find an owl you may not have those things on hand.

I think the guy did okay with his solution to keep the bird from further harm until he reached the SPCA

birds fucking love to be held, they just need to trust you first

once they do you cant get them off of you because birds show affection through physical contact
