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.

Great brand recognition for sure. I think more people likely know the logo than the music.

It's like the girl (teen, high school probably) that I saw wearing an AC/DC shirt in 2007. She probably doesn't / didn't know their music. But, if I'm being fair, I had a Pink Floyd shirt in high school before I really knew what they were about. Can't point fingers. I'm old.

We've all done something similar at some point. Some stuff just looks cool, and you like it even if you may not know what it is.

I listen to German metal or industrial stuff and just assume they're saying cool stuff, but who knows. 😁
