Guys.. He just saved an owl from drowning, no need to bring up the "don't intervene with nature blahblahblah" statements. There is literally no down side to saving that owl from an unfortunate situation, if it was being hunted, the situation would have been different. It was stuck in a bush, they took time out of their day to help it out, big whoop. If you'd seriously just float on by while watching something drown to death without even batting an eye that's good for you. We have intelligence and empathy for a reason. Who cares if this animal wouldn't do the same for me? I'm sure there are plenty of humans who wouldn't do the same for me either, but that wouldn't deter me from saving said human from drowning, so why should it stop me from saving an owl?
This is the internet, people will always find a reason to complain. He would have got just as many negative comments, if not more if he'd left it to drown.
People are just regurgitating what they heard without thinking. Every living thing on this earth interferes with the other. When the lion steals a kill from the leopard, guess what, it just interferes. That's not much different from a person interfering. So it's not about interfering but preserving. We are so advanced that we can determine the fate of most species on earth (except the micro organisms that, ironically, can determine our fate!). That means we must know when to intervene and when not.
Does anybody realize the people making these videos are doing it on purpose? They injure an animal, then get in their boats, throw it in the water then make a video that gets 1m views. Cha Ching.
You're fking delusional Gavin.
Pular... How delusional do you have to be to not recognize that there is a financial motivation to these kind of videos. They're all over UA-cam getting millions of views.
Silly Owl.
You are NOT a duck!
Thank you for the (repeated) rescues!
it's obviously part duck it's wings and Legs just don't know it. lol but I am happy he saved it.
😂😂😂

that's not funny it was scared
Nora the animal lover but it's still alive cause of him ain't it
You saw a need. You took responsibility and saved the life of a sentient being. Well done.
Much more than can be said for a lot of people in this day and age (particularly anti-maskers)
And, they had an AMAZING adventure together as father and son! I bet your son will remember this moment forever! Well done.

I don't know about sentient bud.
@@gunide Yeah, pretty sure owls make the cut for sentient.
People: get in the boat you're drowning
Owl: no I dont think I will
Seen at least 20 bees act the same in my friend's pool hahaha
"I'm a Swan...wheeeee".
"Nope, you're an owl now come here and behave".

underrated comment.
LMAO same thought
Ah finally, the type of comment I've been looking for
I think I'm most impressed that you all have an "animal ambulance."
Same here, I think we need them over here for when any of us rescue animals from tricky situations
katrina lin If I looked right this are our neighbours Poland (Polen). We also have animal rescues here. You can call them. Once I found a baby squirrel. Or to be fair it crashed in stormy weather from a tree onto my umbrella. So it didn't broke it's neck. But it wasn' t in good conditions. :( So I called the animal rescue. Only problem was that they had a lot to do on this stormy day. I waited 3 hours with a tiny half naked squirrel that I put under my clothes cuz it was shaking from cold. When they arrived I was so happy.
If it would be possible every biggish town should have them. They run trough founding (Spenden).
its in the netherlands. There are the conditions better than here in germany

Wieso? Wir haben auch eine Tierrettung.
My wife and I live near a golf course. One of the golfers saw a baby Barn Owl floundering around in the grass. It had a deformed (not broken) leg and spine. We could only guess that it fell (or was pushed) out of a nearby nest. It would have died right there at the golf course if not rescued. Through social media, the golfer contacted my wife and asked if she could care for it until it could fly. So we agreed to take it in. Vets would not treat it because they are not licensed to treat raptors. This owl was a female and we named her Clover. She was so young she still had the white fuzzy feathers. We knew she would have no chance surviving in the wild. We made a home for her here. We fell in love with her and she with us. For the next four months we raised her the best we knew how. We fed her two medium size mice in the morning and two at night. We'd buy 100 frozen mice, thaw them out and warm them up. Clover would absolutely gobble those mice. Her deformed leg had a clenched talon. She could not catch and hold a live mouse with only one functional talon. Plus, her deformed leg always kept her off balance. After about four months, she stopped eating. Two days later she died on my wife's lap. She was barely breathing and finally took her last breath. She became such a part of our lives. She had such a personality. She loved sitting on our lap while we stroked her neck. She never bit us, but she would give us little love nibbles. She loved her life. Our hearts are absolutely broken.
Sorry for you loss. Her life was short but full of love. RIP sweet Clover. ❤
Thank you for the love and compassion that you showed Clover for the short time that she was here with you. Many thanks! ❤ 😊
Pray the gov doesn't see this post if you live in the states. There's a whole department dedicated to making people's lives miserable, cuz iTs iLLeGaL tO tOuCh birds of prey. You will get fined for even picking up the feathers.
Never abandon an owl. Owls only swim if they HAVE to, like catching prey in water. An owl's feathers are not like a duck. They absorb water like your hair and can drown. Lucky owl to have been saved.

@nickys34 GTFOH and take your deranged politics with you.
Yes thank u I love when people help animals in need I would save animals everyday if I could I’m saving the wolves right now
@nickys34 thanks for the foul language, insults and deranged political insight that has nothing to do with this video. I'm an honorably discharged five year veteran. Even if I was a liberal, that wouldn't make me your enemy. You're making yourself look like a big mouth jerk, trying to bully people on the internet. You've been brainwashed into hating your neighbors, fellow Americans, who don't hate you. Try not to take every opportunity in your life and turn it into an argument about politics. You're not going to change anyone's mind, not the way you're going about it.
Saying stuff like: don’t intervene with nature is like saying: don’t save somebody who injured himself in a car crash because that’s nature
November-Bravo so cars are Natur ? Ah
Rocky dont think that was his point but alr
@@Rocky-hm2ho Well, if birds making nests by scavenging resources is nature, and otters using rocks to crack shells is nature, and humans are a species that exists in the natural order, then yes, technically any creation due to the natural urges of humanity is a byproduct of nature! 🤔 😉

Reminds me of Nika Zubre. She's gotten a lot of shit for keeping her Eagle owl Yoll. Problem is that Yoll is not a wild animal, she had been raised in captivity and doesn't know how to hunt. Not too mention Yoll doesn't like flying
Everyone's complaining about how they rescued the bird, but on a lake I doubt they had wifi and It's not common knowledge about how to rescue owls. They did the right thing getting it out of the water and it didn't die in the process. I've had had an owl on my arm , and those things are heavy with sharp talons, trying to stop it from flying could've been dangerous for the people.
They’re in a river and there’s not going to be service for awhile. They didn’t let it die.
@@asbestosfibers1325 spoken like a true city dweller (plz don’t be mad I am a city person who is very used to having service all the time but in rural areas it’s often not the case)
@@felesnocis That's what i was thinking. Only someone who has a truelly city or privaledged upbringing thinks that the internet is available EVERYWHERE. Do people not realise that the internet and mobile signal is put out there by human beings, and isn't just "there"? And the locations are determined by population, so if youre in the middle of nowhere, you're not getting any!!
I stayed in a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere in france once. No mobile signal (network nor any G) and no wifi. And there are many places like that.

Never let a bird go until all its feathers are dry. They cannot fly with wet flight feathers. ✌️
Some birds have oils between their feathers so some can. You can let it go if you know for sure it can fly or whatever
Especially penguins.
And puffins
No owls have oils, though. Most other species do, but not them. Not sure why
most owls don't have oils because it can make the sound of flapping much louder... having no oils means they're not as waterproof as other birds, but they do fly more silently :)
Teaching his kid to love and care for animals are what a real hero dad does ✌

I'd like to point out that this comments section is toxic af. its either people insulting owls without knowing a damn thing about owls, specifically barn owls like this one. Or its a bunch of trolls
The troll ones may just be trying to lighten up the mood😓

It kinda is toxic😓

Thanks for saving the owl and letting us know the outcome.
The comments are 50% random and 50% talking about haters and people who said ‘You should’ve left the owl’ who *aren’t even here.*
But yeah. You did a wonderful thing saving the owl.
the “you should’ve let the owl” comments are all buried, and not everyone’s screens show the same group of comments
@@hellothere7389 but for a BUNCH of people to be saying that there is haters that must mean that their are a BUNCH of unhidden hate comments. I haven't found one yet and I went to the newest and top and scrolled in-between for a while. There probably are comments like that but like dude, not enough to the point where 90 percent of the comments are people telling them to shut up. 🤷🏿♀️
No the comments are 99% like yours talking about something that doesnt exist.
If you are ever in a circumstance like this, wrap the owl in a T-shirt or something to keep them from trying to fly away. You can also put them in a cardboard box. It's helpful to cover their eyes.
I agree. Trying to let it perch allowed it to keep getting away, maybe causing more injury. It's not your friend. In it's eyes, you are planning to eat it. Covering it will allow it to relax, until you can get it to wildlife rescue.
Many birds, like this owl, cannot take off from the water; their wings do not create the lift needed. They need to jump, or drop, into flight. He surely would have died left in the water. He was rather complacent, an indication he was not doing well, so I am glad that they called an animal rescue for rehabilitation.
Especially if their wings are wet..😎
Smart comment. Sometmies i worry people think that a wild animal is being friendly if it's not running/flying off. Chances are, something is wrong with it... I once had a wild mouse come right up to me and just stare at me and then run around near me like i didn't exist.. Wasn't sure what made him like that but it's not normal/healthy.
Is there a timestamp for your comment, or are you stating a "might have been" / "is likely to have been" as a fact?

A Remedy Project Hello from America.
those comments who mocking this poor owl are disgusting.
btw thank you for saving this owl, your doing right thing
I don't think that the joking comments I saw were intended to mock or belittle the owl itself, I believe the comments were intended more as a comic relief of sorts, about the situation. True, the owl kept trying to fly away, because it is a wild creature, but it was also obviously in distress and exhausted. So the people were trying to help it, and it would get a little bit rested and try to escape from the strange humans. It is a little bit humorous, given that it was trying to "escape" from the very help it needed, and I am confident that all of us are glad that the owl survived, and that a wildlife rescue service was called and took the bird to care for it. As for the comments that people thought we should leave wildlife alone, I think in general this is a correct behavior, however, the animal was tired and in distress, and could be saved. So, why not save it? I am sure, that if God (or Allah, or Buddha, or whom ever your "higher power" is) wants that animal to perish, then as mere humans our efforts will not succeed. I think that people should always try to help when and where they can, whether it's an animal, a human, or a plant. Don't hurt or destroy something just to prove that you can. Besides, if we people are natural beings, then if our instincts are to be helpful, then is that not a natural act?
its jokes, not mockery.
"You didn't save my life! You ruined my death! "
No but seriously, i'm happy to see the moist owlette is fine♡
Now the owls gonna sue for “injuries”
This channel havent uploaded in three year
Many thanks for saving him/her.
shizukagozen777 Why are you thanking him personally? And who wouldn't do the same thing in that situation? You make sound like you are Queen of the Owls or a family member.
Mark Hepworth
WT...
First I'm queen of nothing.
Second, some people are mean with animals (I know what I'm saying) so no, everyone would not do that. I'm an animal lover and I too would have tried to save it if I was there. I always feel very glad when people are kind with animals and even if animals are most of the time grateful for saving them, saying thank you in place of them won't kill me. Btw I don't say thank you on every video, but I feel the need to say it here.
Shizukagozen777 is right NOBODY CARE ABOUT THE POOR ANIMALS NOW :( i have a tawny owl that lives by my house i hear it everynight :) Yet PEOPLE WHAT HAVE WE BECOME WE ARE NOW MEAT EATING MONSTERS! some dont eat meat but STILL ITS MEAN says the one who its meat from a chicken every dinner XD BUT STILL ITS ALL SATANS FAULT
Mark Hepworth lol no need to make a big deal about shizukagozen777. She was just saying that he deserves thanks for being a good person and saving that owl. .....
Cookie person13
Did you actually read this thread because I AM the one who said thank you...
I love it when people help animals. Some people would acted like they didn't see the poor thing. Thank you for helping.
A good tip would be to loosely wrap it in a coat to both help it to get warm/dry and to keep it calm (cover its head). If you or any one reads this and happens to need to rescue a large bird. Also, a good way to hold them is by the ankles,with their back to your chest, as I’m sure you figured out their feet are razor sharp. If you recieved any cuts, be sure to wash then we’ll and use antibiotic ointment. Thank you for your compassion!
ua-cam.com/video/d0BHwd6cuzY/v-deo.html
im glad he was saved. and for those in the comments going oh its so stupid or what not, while its true owls have sacrificed some intelligence for better eyesight and hearing, this is not the reason the owl kept jumping into the water. to it the people saving him were bigger predators who were targeting it in its weakest moment when its feathers were so waterlogged it couldn't fly away. and so it panicked. i also think it might have been going into shock as unlike other barn owls ive worked with at the wildlife center it did not hiss, or fake lunge for a bite or even try to bite. most barn owls have this defense mechanism where they spread their wings and do this little head wobble when they feel threatened by something and if you press it they will lunge at you as a bluff though its very rare they actually bite. this one however was making no noise and no attempts to act defensively. most likely cause it was exhausted but like i said i think it might possibly have been going into shock. the only thing i really can say i wish they had done differently was wrap the owl gently in a towel or shirt and place something over its eyes to keep it calm while in the boat. owls and other birds of prey are very sensitive to stimulation especially regarding eyesight and hearing. while you cant do anything about the hearing, having something over their eyes helps block out anything that would cause them stress. and wrapping them gently in a towel like how i suggested prevents them from thrashing about and potentially hurting themselves worse or even hurting you. lastly if you ever come across something like this please find your nearest wildlife center and call them or bring the bird to them as at least in the US it is illegal to keep native birds without a license due to them being protected by law. Most wildlife centers will have a phone number you can call and they will give you further directions on what to do from there.
You get A+ from me
I dint bother reading all of it but ur right
Lol thx I think. I love birds and love working with them so can sometimes ramble a bit if I get started on the topic.
idk could have lead pensioning, 3 years ago i saved a bald eagle from drowning while i was duck hunting and acted just like this owl. we called fish and game and the police station and the operator literally told me to kill the bird just don't do it publicly. So, i kept the eagle and fed it duck meat and fish for about 2 weeks, then we got ahold of some amazing wildlife reufge to come and pick him up, we named him bob saget and he was the nicest bird ive ever had. i tought him to sit on my shoulder and he would love to hang with us. instagram.com/p/BcFsPECAiIV/? that is him
@@levy5808 that could get you in major trouble as those birds are protected by law. Next time that happens take it immediately to your wildlife center. The centers have people who are trained to take care of those birds while limiting human interaction and reliance so that they may be eventually released back into the wild.
Furthermore keeping feathers or anything from a bird of prey can also get you in serious trouble as well.
The Owl would be like:
Thank you,Kind sir

He saved a life and showed the kindness of human. For those who said "don't intervene with nature", if you were the owl would you like this kind man to save you? Or you can ask him not to save you, because of "don't intervene with nature"? please be more encouraged and less criticize!
Just watched the footage of the beautiful owl being rescued and the gentleman should be thanked in my eyes. I see a lot of people getting quite agitated with their views below strangely . The man may have held the Bird incorrectly or maybe he should have just left him. Personally I feel he did a great deed and he handed the Bird to an animal rescue service by the end of the clip so even if that little owl had an injured wing he has another opportunity to get better and get back out there doing all the things owls do best. Without these lovely people out there helping to look after our wildlife and protect it our wildlife would be worse off without them. Not all our wildlife will be as lucky as that little owl. That's life unfortunately but he will have an opportunity to get back in the wild and that's brilliant.
its just the owl get damaged more than before, thats why so many people are upset. And if someone doesnt help wildlife to keep going, or doesnt help, i dont think thats a human.
What a great deed this man did,and the owl did too❤🌹
Thank you so much for rescuing the Barn Owl! As I understand it, we don't have a lot of them left in the US either! Great job sir!
Nto5GB It's not in America.
William W Yes, I know that. Maybe I should rephrase my comment to say that we ALSO don't have alot of them left in the US either. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Nto5GB Aha okey :)
+Isabel Goss, barn owls are everywhere pretty much except for Antarctica. However, they originated from Europe. The two best known races are the Barn Owl of Europe, and the North American Barn Owl. In North America, the barn owl inhabits almost every state. They are most common along the eastern seaboard states, the Gulf states, and the entire west. www.barnowlbox.com/barn-owl-biology/. I would look up some more, but I really don't have the time! If you can find something else about this, please post it as my curiosity has been raised! We do have barn owls in America, I have seen them all my life. Not often, mind you, but sometimes. :-)
+Isabel Goss, I thought he meant that particular owl was not rescued in America. I did a little research on the barn owl and my post above ^^^^ is what I found. I have seen and heard barn owls all my life, and your comment really confused me! :-/
About 4 decades ago there were only about 100 couples of these owls left in our country. Thanks to the help of researchers and volunteers there are about 2500 couples in the Netherlands these days. Migration, reproduction and survival are carefully monitored. Therefore this one has a leg ring. The Barn owl is on our "red list" which meas that it's endangered and/or needs special attention. The use of DDT in the past almost wiped them out over here.
You did a good deed there, did you go and visit the vet to see the owl? I believe in it's own way the owl knew you helped him and probably appreciated it deep down. Although he was probably scared of the new people you handed him over too to begin with and the vet, once he recovered he probably realised everyone handling him helped.
So true wilard..where in the netherlands did u find this owl? I only see...other birds..

It's nice to see that there are still people who aren't afraid of handling animals.
Too often do we see people overly sensitive and inexperienced with wildlife to the point of not even wanting to handle them, and not knowing how to.
Good on you for being better. And I'm sure your kid will be raised right too.
I've had a few bad experiences with animals biting me, so I'm always really cautious about holding them.
So just remember, don't put your hand under an owls claws like this guy does. They are razor sharp. Wrap their legs up in one hand.
Amen.

that's exactly what i was thinking
i thought he was going to get cut up at first
Yes, the people who put rings to their legs always take them by leg, you can get really bad infection from owl claw cuts. They kill rodents etc. with them after all.
They are SUPER sharp. A literal killing machine.
I'm so glad you called someone to rehab the animal! People don't realize that even once these animals are dried off, they will have certain natural oils washed out of their feathers that they need to survive.
yessss
owl needs another week at the rehab center to dip him in canola and coconot and macadamia oil and make his coafour back in place and only then he can be released
Owls are different in that they don't have oils because they would make flight noisy and let their prey get away. That is why they have a harder time in the water.
Best type of owl saved, thank you for being a great person.

@@TheZincMaster-on1fy YeS
Still, owl is an owl, they all behave the same. Barn owl is pretty, but I wouldn't rank anything as "best" based on personal opinions on aesthetics alone.
Definitely a fledgling that had some bad luck. Thank you for helping this young bird, saving its life, handling it with care, proper action, and authorities.
Lots to think about here. Depending on how long the bird's been in the water it could be hypothermic and needs to warm-up. It also needs to dry out before it can fly. Finally, it could be malnourished and needs to be fed. It's also possible it's a young bird still being fed by its parents. In any event you finally held it correctly. When you're not sure, call a local wildlife recovery center and they will help you. That said, you did a fantastic job saving the bird's life.

For future reference, you should have covered the poor thing with your shirt and held it with its wings folded.That way it would be more relaxed and not tried to fly away.

"Wait, they're just leaving me alone? Well, SO LONG SUCKAS I'M OUT- oh I'm in water again."
"Actually, this is pretty relaxing. Maybe I'll chill with these bipeds for a while."
-Owl, probably.
It is funny that you let the owl refer to humans as ''bipeds'', while an owl is a biped itself.
The owl is a winged god of death from above,, just ask any mouse..
In ever animal video, there is always some idot/moron who feels the need to humanize animal behavior.... cringe
You got a better insight into the owl's thoughts?
@@dirkgently120
Owl don't "think" in human terms & concepts, or in English. Only Eagle do that.
Hate how people say "Don't intervene with nature" because humans are a part of nature so by saying that you're saying don't live your life or interact with others. Pretty stupid if you think about it.
Geometry Dash Davez I agree with you in part, but not entirely. In some situations you could make things worse by intervening. I’d say, if you think you need to do something, contact your local,wildlife service or animal rescue people first. They know what they’re doing.
That's still interveninggggg, they never said in what wayyyyyy you idiotttttttt
I'm 14 and this is deep.
Jack Armitage I’m 56 and still growing to manhood, so I don’t mean that to be talking down to you, when I say this. But as you grow to manhood, take some time to live among rural people. Yes, with farmers, but not only farmers. Take the time to live with people in tiny rural communities among people who depend on the environment for their food. PETA will tell you that those people are evil because they kill animals in order to eat, but it’s way more complicated than that. The people who eat wild rabbits will also risk their lives to rescue a wild rabbit that got into a sticky situation. Or an owl, even. That attitude is something that urban kids need to learn. I hope, as your life unfolds, that you get to learn these things and don’t just stay in your own culture in your own part of the world as though the rest of the world didn’t exist. All the best for your life, young man.
@@wfcoaker1398 I read somewhere that P .E.T.A kills animals too. I believe that we should interfere if it is in our power to do so.
What a lot of trite rubbish people are talking about this poor owl. Have a bit of compassion. The bird almost certainly needed to dry out and have food. Thanks for helping.
The owl just wanted to try life as a duck.
Apparently it sucks.
@@blitzwing1 Indeed
I guess it's more of a HOOT to be an Owl... lols
You Angel of Mercy, he was so tired from struggling all night...
When a birds feathers are saturated with water the ability to take off and fly is hindered because the feathers clump together and can't obtain lift, yes he can flap, but then the bird drops like a rock, holding on to the bird and taking it to land to dry off a bit would have been your best bet. You are a hero for saving his life that's for sure, if it was not for you the little guy would die of starvation or dehydration so I say thank you sir for your good deed, I believe when you do an act of kindness towards mothernature she returns the favor, how did she return the favor you might ask, well you woke up the next day didn't you, there you go favor returned. huh thanks nature you rock.
Nicely said.
Beautifully stated🤗🤗🤗
all i do is sit inside and play games all day, mother nature still returns the favor :P
Waking up everyday is a curse wdym
Mike Gaughan the hell was the point of your comment anyways!?
That's a weird fucking turtle, my dude
Nah, tortoise mate, that thing can’t swim.
I love the conversation going on here, glad nobody's said anything toxic ❤
Poor baby, I hope it will be ok. Oh, I saw the message at the end it recovered and was released. Great rescue!
Harry Potter never got the letter from Hogwarts.
LOOOOLLLLL 😂😂😂😂
Are you heartless?
pattison matt Humour isn't meant to be taken seriously

I'm a what
Human thing to do. I saved a baby owl that was almost killed by 2 crows. My girlfriend and I wanted to keep him. I turned owl over to W Virginia state police and they took him to vet rescue center. Just awesome animals.
Larry Dallas Don’t intervene with nature man...
Larry Dallas Was the Owl left for dead or was it still getting attacked?
I studied owls in an ornithology class I took in college. Very interesting birds. I also collected owl pellets for another college project to study the variety in their diet. All in all, my favorite bird.
@@cheesytaters1087 Crows aren't an endangered species, but many owls species are. Moreover, those crows likely had many other options to get a meal, such as rodents, bugs, or even berries (depending on time of year.) So it was perfectly reasonable to help out.
@ᚪᚢᛏᚢᛗ ᚱᚪᛇᛝᚹᚪᛏᛠᚱ Might not be a psychopath, could just be ignorant about when it's appropriate vs. inappropriate to intervene.
Being British I genuinely believed he was joking about the animal ambulance.
He delivered.
Aye same I was amazed! Shame the NHS doesnt have one my local area gets plenty injured birds
me being dutch you already know i was scrolling to see which countries have never seen an animal amberlamps.
@@insanebmxthomas haha big up the Dutch!
That Owl has a metal tag on it's foot 3:44 It was either being studied or flew away from it's owner. I believe that was someone's pet, or was the property of a Zoo. Hence it's total lack of survival skills.
The tag is most likely a tracking device or identifying tag from a previous capture or it could have been raised in a program for rehabilitating the population of Barn Owls in which case it would have had a tag put on when released.
i bet the owl is like," leave me alone, i can float".
Here's someone who did the rescue correctly. The animals should always be given to a wildlife rescue group so they can determine if there are any unseen injuries, dehydration, etc. Too many times people get animals out of predicaments and then unknowingly leave them to die, because additional help was necessary and not provided.
Thank you for saving the beautiful owl

Sweet. You have now unlocked the ability to send letters to Hogwarts.
the bird got the message at last that you were trying to help it...Good job saving it
some child didnt get their letter to hogwarts..but a kind person saved him from drowning atleast...ty kind sir!
RavenStorm31 It's alright, Hogwarts will make sure the child gets their letter via 300 more owls.
Greatest comment ever
Yoda Zemunski worst comment ever
The man who saved the owl is its child’s father
So sit down and behave and wait for instructions for what thay did
Also the kid is holding the camera so he could not help.
Plus he did help by calming the owl down
Unoriginal
Amazing how the owl was relaxed when the kind father held it.
It was most likely exhausted.
3:27 the birds just like "yeah I give up"
I tried to get a canada goose with a broken wing saved. there was nobody that would come for it :/
Southtown
so? the fuck is with their picking and choosing what wild animals to rescue? I literally called 5 different animal rescue numbers and got punted between them. the only one even interested in it was over 40 minutes away so they wouldn't come that far.
so did u cook it?
+Southtown You are probably a 12 years old kid, with 0% live experience. Don't talk about things you don't know anything from. Get off youtube kid, you are posting the biggest crap commenst I've ever seen.
theultimateuploader You mad bro? #Triggerd
@eagleeye929 Yes its the nature. But humans influence the nature in a bad way. Why shouldnt we try to influence it in a good way?
the owl was all "thanks. i'd buy you a beer but, i'm an owl"
How tf are there people here who think what this guy did is animal abuse?! He saved the ows live and yall are saying animal abuse?? What was he then supposed to do? Let it die? Drown it him self?
~Warning: Long rant~
Dumb people think that saving animals is “against the natural order” which is so stupid because they’re acting like humans aren’t part of nature??? Like we’re not some higher beings. And if nature was so delicate then it would have collapsed a long time ago, there is nothing unnatural or wrong about an animal saving another since humans are just another species of, totally natural, animal.
Don’t get me wrong we totally destroy ecosystems and stuff but the fact that it’s been decades of us wrecking nature and it’s still not “broken” yet should be a sign that we really don’t need to worry about a handful of people in CITIES, where animals have literally evolved to interact with humans better, are helping other creatures.
@@morninggloom8391
(Sorry for any mistakes in English this comment may have, I'm Flemish)
In some cases I do understand their perspective/concern, as it can be dangerous if certain animals get more used to and less scared of humans, as it puts them in danger of accidentally trusting a poacher or someone whose intention it may be to hurt them. But that applies more to being friendly with the animals for no real reason. I would rather save a life and risk it being killed by another person later, than leave it there to die a certain death
@@vastacid9957 Yeah that’s fair, I was just talking about when a human saves an animal in this case. But that is a good point!
(Edited for spelling mistakes)
@@morninggloom8391 Saving animals is wrong if it's being attacked by a predatory animal, such as saving a squirrel from a hawk. In this case humans shouldn't interfere or get involved. Predators need to eat too or they'll starve.
@@Ahmed-ob6ec I’m sorry but from the context of the video and the fact that I never mentioned predators, you’re kinda just making up an argument and then arguing against it
Now that's what a civilized society looks like. Ambulance service for animals. Here in the United States we barely have it for humans, unless you can afford it.
And thank you Dad for teaching your son compassion and empathy for living creatures. If there were more fathers like you, teaching our young males this, there would be much less war, suffering and death in the world. All life has value.
Stfu. Ambulances for animals being paid for by taxpayers is fucking retarded. That's not civilized, that's moronic.
@@Someoneonyoutube Something tells me you lack something called empathy.
@@Konh-Minh Why? id help an animal and bring them to the vet. I wouldnt spend tax dollars on it when over half of the population lives paycheck to paycheck. Its fucking dumb.
@@Konh-Minh A better way to put it is i would rather donate $100 to save a child in africa than to save a dog.
@@Someoneonyoutube in your country that might be the case.But we ( the netherlands where the video was taken) actually don't have such a shitty country that we cant affort to give good care to all living creatures. We share this world its not just ours
My mom and I run a Wildlife Rehabilitation center in Texas. It’s really heart warming to see people take time out of their busy lives to help these beautiful creatures❤️
Aww that's so nice
gnome gnomed thank you❤️
no wonder my letter from hogwarts didn't arrive
Veronica Gilman 😂😂😂
Veronica Gilman lol
It explains more than that.
Nonenowhere 😂
Veronica Gilman i dont respect that you are using an endangered owl for likes so can you please stop? Not trying to say it in a rude way
"Well... I guess they aren't always so wise"
An ambulance for a bird. I want to live in that country.
yup we have them in all provinces but they are run on charity and volenteers mostly..
Move to EU then
I would donate. I recently donated to my local volunteers
Thank you for saving the poor owl from drowning. You are great people.
Poor little thing needs a blow dry and brushie
Jeff O quick question: what the fuck
@@deanispenisluvr Now that is an intelligent statement

Thank you for saving the Owl.
thanks for your help. glad to see that still are caring people in the world towards animals.

Oh hey Soren . The Guardians are looking for you
Looks more like Kludd
Yes! I wasn't the only one thinking of Soren xD (btw yes it's spelled with only one r, not two)
That was a good series. I was thinking of it too and I was wondering if I was the only one. I haven't actually read that series in over five years, and it's still one of my favourites
Lmao! I forgot those books existed 😅
No that's Kludd
Only he thought Soren burnt his entire body off
Just to say. Thank you!
god bless you for saving this owl for almost drowning. have an amazing day/night.

The people: Keep getting the owl back in the boat.
The owl: Let me go! Let me die!
I dont know anything about these birds but i liked the way you handled it. Well done!
PS: When you hold a bird, in general you don't want to hold them around the neck because they can flap around and hurt themselves, you want to hold them like you would hold a foot ball, with their wings folded in
I found a racing Pigeon with a ring on its leg. It had blood on its wing and couldn't fly. I thought, there's a vet just up the road, I'll pick it up and walk there, pay for its initial treatment and the vet can track the owner. OMG. That Pigeon had the strength of ten men 😩 I battled with that bird all the way to the vets, it's wings clamped to its sides and it fought like a devil !! I had to hold it that strongly that I was sure it might pass out. I struggled in through the door, passed it over, left them with £20 and went to have a cup of tea to calm down. That bird was STRONG 🤕
You’re not accounting for the talons and cutting beak, for one. That could be dangerous. It depends on the type of bird. Every avian vet I’ve gone to with my large macaw grabs her around the neck-because if you put too much pressure on their chest by holding there they cannot fill their air sac lungs-so they can die that way from not being able to breathe properly. It sounds crazy because you’d think the same thing with their necks-but somehow they still breathe fine when you hold them there.
Great info thank you
They probably have very little experience with birds so they didn't know
@@vmm5163 Lucky you had the strength of eleven men I guess.
@@macylouwho1187 The same with my cockatiel.
If barn owls get wet they can't fly. If you have ever petted a barn owl, they have soft feathers that help them fly, so they can't fly in any wet weather.
Its wing was damaged no just wet,
They can fly when wet, I'm certain in this case the bird was so tired from trying not to drown it simply didn't have the energy to fly.
@@billdberger7407 When the guy was saying he was exhausted, i was thinking yeah but if a wild animal is the level of exhaustion where it is barely managing to get away from you, it's possible that no level of sitting around resting is going to get that back. It needs sleep and fluids. It was good to read it recovered after a stay with the animal rescue :)
People who don't like the video: "Wait for the owls feathers to dry, this video is cruel!"
Me: At least they did something!
They said that one of the owl's eyes was damaged as well, so its good they got the poor thing checked out. They said in the subtitles that it took two weeks for the poor thing to recover. So yeah they definitely did the right thing!!
Thank you for saving this animal!
That is such a pure video. Thank you for that.
Don't mind the bunch of entitled pricks here. You did a good thing, and it adds to your bird rescuing experience too.
Bird can't fly with wet wings. I'm so happy you could save him
