For owls that are superb.

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.

Nope, not me. Check my history to see my business...
I'll take your word for it. Checking history always makes me feel somehow creepy, and if I do not suspect you of purposeful bad-faith engagement (then I'd want to see what the rest of your engagement looks like so I could judge if it is a bad-faith post) I have no reason to bother. Sorry for the mixup!
Okay, thanks for explaining.
As has happened before, I'm frankly a bit grouchy upon criticism of my AI-aided content. I do feel the post as it stands is relevant to this sub, as it's based on a real phenomenon (the definition of a group of owls) applied to a famous place which bears that definition, and then populated by the actual subjects of this sublemmy. In short, it's a simple joke / riddle combining those different elements.
I came up with this idea myself and I wrangled ChatGPT until it came up with the final image I was (more or less) pleased with. Otherwise, if my health wasn't so shitty, I might have taken the time and effort to do a watercolor on the concept, but realistically that's not possible anymore. Cheers.
