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.

The outfits really do have a wide range of looks. The most important part is just that they don't think human=free safe food.
Ideally the owlets are placed with a foster owl parent, since they will learn life skills much more effectively from another owl. This gives the owl a better chance at getting to be returned to the wild where it belongs!
That would be much less traumatizing than Slender Man popping by every now and then to drop off food
Owls aren't afraid of Slender Man, owls are Slender Man!
These 3 are all the same owl.
Very cute
