A Great Horned Owl at Owl Ridge Raptor Center, Tennessee posted with the caption "Someone did not want to take their medicine and therefore, must be placed in the burrito of towel. He was thrilled."

Rehabilitator Chris Thomison holds on his lap a GHOW with brilliant yellow eyes. The vanilla towel is wrapped like a cloak, with one corner folded at the middle like a half collar. The owl's plumicorns are erect, brow is furrowed, and upper eyelids are lowered about 30%, giving an overall look of immense scorn. He is plotting the demise of all involved.

A Barn Owl is wrapped in a steel blue towel, and held at the ankles by a rehabilitator. The owl's feet are in grab n' stab mode, with talons on one foot outstretched, the other in a ball. For now the human is unpunctured.

A hatch-year Eastern Screech Owl recovering from a window strike. Wings Wildlife posted her with many other birds of prey, urging to help resupply stocks of frozen rats and mice.

A Screech Owl with supremely bombastic stink eye is wrapped at the armpits in a minty white towel, wings akimbo. Her olive-grey eyes, one a half moon, the other a crescent, match her beak in colour. The faintest outline of "ear" tufts appear on her fuzzy silhouette, before a plain yellow-green background the tone of under-ripe avocado.

"So, an owl got into my parent's house" u/Ojierda posted on r/aww. The Striped Owl in southern Brazil was wrapped up - no apparent injuries but "it did make a mess" they said. "After a little while they calmed it down" before releasing outside. Source: https://reddit.com/r/aww/comments/8k04lg/ #owlsintowels 💛🦉

A Striped Owl is swaddled inside a slate navy fabric in the crook of the arm of the homeowner/occupant. The owl's feathers are mostly pale brown with tinges of ginger to the top and sides, and dark stripes all about. Her plumicorns are round and floppy like a pair of ears, almost cat- or bear-like in appearance. She has a pronounced black edge around her facial disk, inside which sits an expression hard to read behind eyes of deep dark brown.

A Long-eared Owl at Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge in NJ. Sadly he succumbed to injuries from vehicle strike. Stories like his, though not having the desired outcome, are an important reality of wildlife rehabilitation work.

A Long-Eared Owl is burrito-wrapped in a pine-green towel, held by the thick-gloved hand of a rehabilitator indoors. The owl assays the photographer with expressive yellow eyes. The plumicorns, or "ear tufts" for which the species is so named, are curved like feathery scimitars, with one a tad taller than the other. These tufts are not truly ears (their ears are actually located at the sides of their head, at eye level and concealed). Rather, the tufts are large prominent feathers, and it's not super definitive what they're for, but biologists suggest they help communicate mood and intent to other owls. The tufts are blackish-brown with tawny edges, whereas the owl's facial feathers are a prominent flash of mostly cream and ginger.

The LEOW rests on two towels, green and white, layered in a donut / horseshoe shape. The patient is located inside a large incubator labelled "BIRD BROODER 90", a machine for controlling oxygen, heat and humidity. It is about as long as a shipping container is wide, with a clear hatchback door behind which the owl watches the photographer, head turned to the side.

A close-up crop of the Long-eared Owl resting on the green towel, being given the best possible care one could hope for.
