Used to work at a place that kept birds of pray, they used to feed dead day old chicks. They would buy boxes and box of frozen day olds.

As Harry said get some frozen chicks,also worth having it scanned to see if it's chipped, my mate picked up a buzzard last week that was pretty underweight , is it definately a captive bird as we do get a few here that stray across from Holland I think and a couple do nest here as well, nice find though and good work rescuing it

Get some day old chicks and quail, is it ringed? Maybe trace its owners through that. Fairplay in you taking  it in del

I'd say it's captive as that's an indian/bengalese eagle owl and not a Eurasian

That'd have been a euro eagle owl ray, much bigger bird. Capable of taking lambs and goats but the one in the picture is the smaller cousin, Indian eagle owl

Owls arnt rung in falconry as a rule and it has Jesse's on so a captive  bird .When fed up ,full up, it will be a totally different unpredictable bird. JUST A WORD OF WARNING .
