Lend a Hand, Care for the Land
Here are some ideas for how you can lend a hand to help owls. Discuss these ideas with your parents or caregivers. You can tell them about owls and what you learned in this article.
1. If you have a chimney, ask your parents or caregivers to install a chimney cap. A chimney cap will prevent owls, other birds, and other wildlife from getting trapped in your chimney.
2. Take down soccer nets when you are not using them. Owls get caught in nets, and in soccer nets especially. Make sure that soccer nets are not out at night, when owls are most active.
3. Do not use poisons around your home. Owls may eat poisoned animals and be poisoned themselves.
4. Keep your cats indoors. Cats hunt birds and other wildlife, including owls.
