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.

From 8 World News Singapore

Original:

本地品种猫头鹰罕见地在组屋区树洞筑巢,引来大批鸟类摄影爱好者全副武装带“大炮”分时段到现场架设,只为等待拍摄猫头鹰“爸妈”低飞喂食两只幼崽的珍贵一幕

Facebook:

Local breed owls rarely nest in tree holes in the hut area, attracting a large number of bird photography enthusiasts, armed with "cannon" to set up the scene in time, just waiting for the precious scene of the owl's "parents" flying low and feeding two cubs.

Google Translate:

A rare local species of owl nests in a tree hole in a HDB housing estate, attracting a large number of bird photography enthusiasts armed with "cannons" to set up at the site at different times, just waiting to take pictures of the owl "parents" flying low to feed their two cubs a precious scene.

ChatGPT:

Local species of owls rarely nest in tree holes in housing estate areas, attracting a large number of bird photography enthusiasts who come fully equipped with their "big guns" to set up at the scene in shifts, all just to wait for the precious moment of the owl "parents" flying low to feed their two chicks.

I think GPT wins this round. Chinese seems to be a toughy for a lot of these translators.
