This is the fiercest burrito we have ever seen!

What an Owl Knows by Jennifer Ackerman is a great book if you want to learn a lot in digestible, easy to understand language.
Also, don't hesitate to find a rescue/rehab near you and go look and ask questions. The people are all there because of their love for the animals, so they will talk your ears off if they aren't too busy. I did a 50 States of Owls last year if you're in the US, to show everyone there are lots of owl places to visit wherever you may be. Owls are in every place people are, so there are always some nearby.
You can also help local owl just by donating time, money, or supplies to your local rescue center. They always need paper towels, bedding, cleaners, and a ton of other basic supplies. No rehab I have come across in any country gets any tax money for their services, so it is all privately funded by people like us. I was even reading about someone helping from home raising grubs to feed to their local rescue animals so the place didn't need to buy them.
There are tons of opportunities for anyone to participate, no matter how much or little they have to give at the moment!
