- Wildlife Aid never stops! Even during our Christmas dinner!
In the middle of our Christmas dinner, we took a call about a Tawny owl found on the side of the road.
Even though it was one of our few free evenings, we met with the couple who found him, to assess his injuries. Needless to say that we had a few drinks during our meal…and we were in a jolly (but very professional) mood!
We took great care of the owl, but the owl still managed to attack Simon… See for yourself how owl talons can be dangerous without gloves!

Lol that owl had the most skeptic look in its eyes at 4:48 it was like "Not sure if I should trust "
I THINK HE HAD HEARD ENOUGH OF SIMONS CRIES FOR ATTENTION

+Wildlife Aid He just wanted to hold your hand :)
Isabel Jones lol!
+Isabel Jones, 😆😂. That's a good one!
HE WON'T STOP BECAUSE THIS ACT OF HIS KS ALL HE HAS. INSTEAD OF BEING GRACIOUS HE NOW CONSTANTLY ACTS PUT UPON TO GARNER UNDESERVED PITY. HE HAS TAKEN IT TO WHERE PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF ARE ACTUALLY DISGUSTED WITH HIS CONSTANT NEED FOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. IT' S FREAKING WEAK AND BORING. FREAKING DRAMA QUEEN. SO THE THING IS HE CAN'T STOP BECAUSE HE COULDN'T BEAR TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE GET ANY PRAISE AND HE WOULD DIE IF HE COULDN'T BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.
Wildlife Aid thank you for saving so much wild animal and put them back in wild Thanks !
Raptor claws, however teeny, are no joke!
Poor, mistreated Simon. Made me want to reach through and hug him better. Lol! Well done, rescuers and wildlife aid people!
Owl be watching more of you videos lol 😄
+Stephanie Edwards lol! Thanks!
Stephanie Edwards 😬😁😂

Kiki TinyPaw :-)
XDDDDD
Simon is such a character. You could not have a better man to be the face of Wildlife Aid.
Awww, poor Simon. Sorry about the claws. Sweet of you to forgo your Christmas dinner to help the tawny owl. Thank you! ♡
Simon, that owl...er....did he...um...look.. _familiar_ to you?
Because he kinda did to me. That's why I ask.
As a matter of fact, he looked to me just like the same dimwit that fell in the water and had to be re-rescued when you released him and his sibs that time at that pond.
Gosh, you don't suppose....? ;-))
Hehe we assume that it isn't the same owl! ;) The owl that fell in the pond was released about 40 miles from this location..... but....hmm.... you never know!! :D
Wildlife Aid - LOL!
Simon, a very Merry Christmas, and splendid New Year to you, and the whole wonderful crew there at WAF!
nameofthepen Thank you so much! A very merry Christmas to you too and keep watching in 2015 :D
This guy, and the team surrounding him of course.
Such passion and dedication.
The animals in your area have an unsung hero watching their backs.
Thank you for these videos and care!
Thank you Bryantozero :D Merry Christmas to you too :)
Simon is getting all cut up...Young lady is like: " Oh great he is coming alive!"
Haha, hat off to you guys.
That right there is dedication.
Happy holidays ^-^
And to you too TherianthropeAndrewH :D
In England we call it Christmas....and it will never be Happy holidays.
@@rjmitchell5128 I see you've snowflakes too.
If I lived in the World of Harry Potter, I would have failed school, spending all day in the Owlery
+Lukas Baumert I'm sure they would let you stay with Hagrid instead of kicking you out xD
Sounds nice! Someone has to controll him more closely.
Kylie Robertson Oh yeah. :( All those years and died a hero. :(
I'm definitely not an animal lover. I'm a LIFE lover. I appreciate all. Glad the little guy was looked after :)
Had a tropical screech owl stuck in my hair once. I help out with the North Wales Owl Sanctuary (Rescue. All rescues, mainly from the pet industry, many of whom were abused quite badly in since cases, but some wild that are too fit to be put down, but not fit enough for wild release), and apparently my hair makes a lovely nest and he tried to get into the warm but by my neck. He was quite happy to be all snuggled up. It's amazing how quickly you accept "well this is my life now, I've got an owl stuck in my hair forever." Unlike with badgers and foxes, owls have the pointy ends that just keep coming.
A few years ago on my way to work I found a barred owl standing on the side of the road. In fear that he would be hit or eaten by a coyote, I stopped and caught him, intending on taking him to the nearby vet. He was kind of big and tried to get away, but couldn't fly. I picked this otherwise quite healthy owl up and he tore my hands up with his talons! I was a bloody mess and had some nerve damage for years from that experience! Lesson learned? I see Simon learned the same lesson. Gloves!
You are correct that wildlife need very careful handling to ensure they, our ourselves don't suffer injury, if we had every bit of equipment we need for every species and situation we deal with on us at all times we would need a large truck following us around 24/7 so sometimes needs must. We hope your hands are fully recovered now, and respect to you for helping the owl. :)

Found a Horned owl on the side of the road in Texas (injured wing and in shock)
I happened to have a cat trap in the car!
But I bloody made sure to catch him with my coat over him and grabbed him from BEHIND before quickly stuffing him into the cat trap.
I then went to a police station (small town) to ensure they knew I was NOT trying to illegally make him a pet, but try to contact the closest legal rehabber!
He was so weak the rehabber did not need gloves to handle him....he could perch on the kitty door activation latch, but not grab a hand tightly.
Poor thing, they honestly told me he would probably not make it.
At least he did not die on the side of the road or by a moron deciding to flatten him.
I hunt, but love and respect predators...even coyotes and foxes.
I leave them alone though and enjoy them from a distance!
@@wildlifeaid I'd assume a pair of gloves would be among your usual stuff in the car though XD But I guess not everyone is as weird as me.
Simon with his little dance at the end. LOL
Cheering here on the west coast of U.S. when he flew away!
Owl just wanted a meet and greet with Simon!
that women had the sweetest soul, so compassionate. need more people like her and her partner
Bless you for the work and the commitment you put into saving those animals. I hope you've had an amazing christmas.
Thank you M.Kiljan :)
3:56 X'D Favorite part. Nothin' but the tail feathers sticking out. Didn't know all you had to do was put them in a bowl and plop a towel on them and they'd behave! I laughed so hard.
Best dinner date ever!
I understand that being cut up is nothing fun only really painful, but Simon handled it quite well. All I can say is that his calm but comedic exclamations of pain cracks me up every time! And that one that takes delight in other people's suffering, it's just that Simon has his own way of making some rescues fairly amusing, like at 1:20 and 2:47 instance!
Awww what a sweet couple
Thank you for this sweet Christmas present! Many Blessing and a Merry Christmas!
And to you too Anangke - thank you :D
Lovely couple, hope his hand was ok.
Now that is dedication!!! Well done folks.
Thanks eastbelfastno1 :)
Lovely couple and lovely owl. Poor chicks :(
such a cute owl! Your dedication is inspiring! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too Julie.
aww gosh i love owls! what lovely people!!
You are the kindest people in the world good luck helping wildlife :)
I love owls I've loved them since I was 1 year old
I love his love for animals
Last three seconds man... X'D
that's where Harry's owl went 😂
I loved the young people rescuing the owl - I loved that they brought it right to you - I was a little sorry it interrupted your Christmas dinner - but it did make for a really good story! Best part? The dance at the end! I am thinking you celebrated the owl's saving! Oh, and I am quite sorry that the owl impaled you. Repeatedly. Naughty owl! Great release, wonderful rescue, and Merry Christmas from the USA!
Well owl be damned!!! What a G8 story (big thanks to the couple that picked this beauty up out of the road) WAF to the rescue again 👏👏👏
Hoho, what a little devil! :D
I must admit though, I feel terribly sorry for the little chicks you fed him/her. I know it's neccessary but I still don't like it :c
Ah but nevermind, I wish you all a very merry Christmas!
PS: Simon, that dance was amazing! ;)
I know Tinkili we don't like it either, but we have to mimic their natural food the best we can, and these chicks are by-products of the meat/egg industry as they are all males. Sad, but at least nature benefits from them :( .... ps... Glad you spotted Simon dancing at the end hehe ;)
Wildlife Aid I completely understand this, it's nature I guess!
The dance could have been longer though :D
Hahaha well we do have more of it on file - maybe in a bloopers episode one day ;)
Wildlife Aid
That would be super duper :3
We will see what we can do ;)
Every time I see an owl I always think of Harry Potter every time
Aww haha bless his heart for his hands being so clawed up, but you and I both know he'd do it again in a heartbeat! ❤
Aaaaaw.... That's so awsome..
Lovely rescue of the little owl. Cutie! You guys are awesome. Merry christmas :)
Merry Christmas to you too vintagerosenz.
Sorry I was laughing at your pain that the owl did.
Nice video 👍 that's really great you never stop to help the wild animals 👋
thank you for being there for these animals!
Thank you! And Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too James.
Merry Christmas to simon and everyone behind the scenes as well. Your efforts are greatly appreciated... Even from the Netherlands :)
Merry Xmas to you Fons and to all in the Netherlands too.
Poor baby didn't look like he was feeling well at all. I hope he made a full recovery and was able to be released.
That's what they were doing at the end of the video, setting the little one free :)
You're awesome.
As much as we would want to keep these animals by our side...like this magnificent owl .... to see them released back into their natural habitat is so elating it must be worth every bite or scratch suffered in the endeavor.
So while children are opening presents with joy, Simon and Lucy rescue an owl. Nice present, I mean that sarcastically and actually.
LOL, Simon goes through so much pain for his passion for animals. :) Good guy!
Happy holidays to you. You are wonderful.
I adore you guys :) thank you for what you do
That was great and you were very funny.. Even though I know those talons hurt... ouch!! lol
LOL when Simon yelled at 0:40 I thought that was the owl!
I literally just bookmarked this with the page name changed to "at 3:10 see Simon's how-dare-you-accuse-me-of-whinging face".
+Privacy Lover
I just laughed so hard because of your comment. I had great fun merely from Simon exclaiming all the time. But to imagine that the owl yelled "Ow" itself made me fall off my chair! thanks for making my day xD
Grum89510 Haha I'm glad I made you laugh! I realized right away of course, I think the reason was Simon's face wasn't in the shot and it wasn't immediately apparent the owl's talons were digging into him (so I wasn't expecting to hear him suddenly yell "owww") and so for a brief moment I thought the sound came from the owl lol.
Adorable)
Well, one thing you can be certain of is that YOU ARE NEEDED. LOL
You amazing people .. with such an amazing role on this planet 👏 fab work guys & thank u.
It's almost like you need to wear armour for some of these. He was a handsome one though. Glad he was alright.
Well we normally wear gauntlets... but we didn't bring them out with us to the Christmas dinner! :) Hehe!
Fair enough, fair enough. :) It's awesome to see rescues like this.
I like how Simon Cowell just goes "never mind" to his wounds at 2:58, just as if he is saying "whatever, let's focus on the own instead, that is the important part here".
You, sir, are FABulous! Merry Christmas to you! Thanks for all your great work!
Those talons are like cat claws!
Do owls 'sharpen' their claws somehow to keep them pointy like cats do?
That's actually a very good question, if I had to guess I would say that as they are continually landing and perching on wood that would keep them nice and sharp, I can't say I have ever seen one actively sharpening them like a cat.
Wildlife Aid That would be a funny thing to see them do so though, wouldn't it? X3
yayoineko
It would, and I am going to keep an eye out in future to try and learn how they keep their talons sharp :)
This reminds me of James herriot books which I love and re-read every so often for the joy in them...i could calve a cow.
I like how the other are talking amongst themselves while Simon is in pain
My dear Mr. Cowell -- yes, those talons DO hurt! Thank you for being willing to go through the distress on behalf of all those lives you and your crew have saved. There are days when I feel that humans should be put on the Endangering Species List. I'm really glad we -- and they -- have you to help.
Awesome. :D Sure the owl delayed the Christmas dinner, but at least they helped save an owl. Well worth it.
You’re a trooper.
I want to cuddle him he's so cute
Awwwww sooooo cuteeeeeee!!!!!!!
That little guy had a lot of fight in him! What happened to him though, did he get hit by a vehicle?
He was hit by a lorry, the poor chap :( Although we think he was only buffeted by the lorry going past as he was not injured, thankfully ;)
Congrats to you
All your videos are great!
Another successful release
Simone owls are so amusing
Haha this was hilarious, poor Simon xD
lovely owl
Grazie 🙏 🙏 🙏 ❤ ❤
Poor Simon.....he has an ouchie......poor guy. Very pretty owl.
OWWW!! Charlie bit me!
When I was a kid I found a Barn Owl stuck in a tree back at a ranch where I grew. I was able to bring it down safely, but I let my guard down it suddenly grasped onto my finger and it hurt a lot!
aww i just love owl they sorta remind me of cats ;)
Ya'll are a hoot!
Could it be that Simon felt relieved, even delighted, when he was called to help a grumpy, tawny owl?
Really Simon- Owls means GLOVES
He really likes your fingers
Are those baby chickens? 😱
6 years later he got hurt the same way again. Simon never learns 😅
That girl who brought you the owl was quite cute.
I wonder how owl claws stay so sharp all the time.
When your notoriety follows you, even to dinner...
3:12 Who's the owl now? :p
Hahahaha!! Good point!! :p
"You're always whinging" *OOOOOOOOOOO* (B U R N)
WHAT WAS THAT DANCE😳
I feel a bit sorry for Simon.. But i have to say its a bit funny, that when it was said the owl was a bit tiny, it did anything it could to prove it wrong :D :D
scars of honour there Simon
HAPPY CHRISTMAS !!
Happy Christmas to you too Margaret.
Poor Simon... XD
Simon you need a 1st aid kit for your car!
