Rescuing a screech owl tangled in fishing line, New Jersey - 09/06/2015

I was fishing in the woods when I heard the loud crying for help. It was a cute screech owl tangled in fishing line attached to a tree, so it was swinging like a pendulum pivoted to the branch. It took a while to get him free of the line but I think in the end he was fine. He flew across the lake without any problems.
This just goes to show how important it is to leave no trash behind when fishing, or doing any other outdoors activity. Always carry a trash bag with you, or at least put the extra line/garbage in your pockets or socks. Feel responsible for line that's tangled in the tree branches and try to clean them up as much as possible (I know it is not entirely possible sometimes)

Ikr. I once rescued a chipmunk caught in those glue mousetraps. It was all stuck but clearly in panic until I started rubbing the glue off with oil. Stayed real calm and still and let me bathe it to get rid of the residue. Even fell asleep, guessing it got so tired so I feed it sunflower seeds. Now occasionally I see it in our garden. I called it Brittney-Alvin cuz idk if it was a boy or girl lol

I can’t tell if the owl was playing dead, or genuinely got so stressed that he passed out or almost died or something.

[@Toshiro_Mifune]

passed out or was in shock. pretty common to birds when they get a big fright or bump on glass. if that happens to you, make something like a nest, clothes, towels or a box will do& put it inside. after some time, could be a couple of hours, if he's actually fine he'll fly away. if he/she can't, take to your nearest wildlife shelter. just make sure to don't leave it alone outside while you wait cause other animals might eat it.

A knife is far more useful than nail clippers and would have worked the same here, assuming your smart enough to cut away from the owl and not towards it. Get a "swiss army manager pocket knife" that is tiny and goes on your keychain. It has a very small knife blade, scissors, nail file/flat head screwdriver, bottle opener/phillips screwdriver, LED light, and a ball point pen for writing. Trust me, once you have one, you will wonder how you got by all your life without one. Plus if you even run across a tangled bird like this, you too can be a hero!

When they freeze up like that they're either in shock, or just playing dead so as soon as you put it down for a moment it takes advantage.

I've seen birds and some other animals do that and my interpretation was the same. Its either playing dead or some deep state of fear/schock.

@@ivoryboggs5155 interesting. I wonder why it's mostly taught that owls hoot instead of screeching or whatever.

[@ivoryboggs5155]

@@palmsky1119 It could just be that most people associate the hooting sound that more common species like the great horned owl make due to popular media. It is just like the association of owls with wisdom because owls are actually really primative creatures and don't use a whole lot of thought in their day to day lives.

I think that the Owl, after a certain point, realizes that this guy's trying to help him and just stays still for him to get it. That, or the poor thing was paralyzed in fear momentarily.

[@basedbear1605]

More likely the latter. He realizes he was helpless in the hands of this giant.

[@Chaingun]

@@basedbear1605 it happens in videos of a zebra being eaten by lions. it struggles at first then accepts survival of the fittest and just calmly lays down with the lions as they eat him from the inside. He even looks around and sniffs them as they do it. Fear overload and becomes numb, I guess.

[@amarettopunsch1496]

@@Chaingun that is the most terrifying thing I read

[@Edward-Not-Elric]

It also could have just been staying quiet and still/playing dead to appear unappealing. Y'know, a lot of animals do that. Some animals like sharks will literally just bite something because they don't know what it is and if it starts splashing around then the shark will see it as pray or a funny little thing and continue to bite at it. Similar with grizzlies. If you run away or flail around they will continue to attack you until you cease moving. Your best bet is to lie still and hope it gets bored before it takes something off or kills you.

The day finally comes and this poor fellow is laid off from his job. As his boss calls him into his office to tell him he’s done a fully grown barn owl flies through the window, shattering the glass into the bosses eyes and projectiling itself straight into his crotch. The boss screeched sissily, then died of his wounds. guy scooped up the owl and said “you shouldn’t have come!” And sprinted for the nearest stairwell. Once he reached the bottom he dashed for the exit, clutching mr owl and that’s when he saw it. SWAT teams in full gear, surrounding the building on all sides. A spray of bullets narrowly missed guy and owl as he dove for cover, and he looked into mr owls eyes and asked “do you have a plan B?!” “NEREEEEEEEEE” To be continued....

Predators close their eyes when they want to show they don't mean harm, when they want to be friends and when they feel safe. All in one, it's one and the same feeling for them.
