Mainly just curious to see how many non-US people we have. I know some languages have more than one word for owl.
Where are you from, and how do you say owl where you are from, and what sound do they make?

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.

I couldn't find a video of the joke, but I did see Vic Reeves was offered with Bob Mortimer. I felt like it was a joke I would have heard in Taskmaster!
It seems the Tawny Owl is the source of the sound.

I love Taskmaster
Same, binged it all this year. My girlfriend watches Big Fat Quiz Show, so she was familiar with a few contests, but I think almost all where new to me. It was a great way to get excited to modern British comedy. I also liked it didn't feel staged with like an American show would be. The interactions felt very natural between the hosts and contestants. I wholeheartedly recommend the show to anyone.
