A Kentucky family got a little something extra when they picked out their Christmas tree this year and found a baby owl.
Lexington resident Michele White told WDKY-TV that it’s a tradition for the family to pick out a Christmas tree every year and this year seemed no different. They had the tree in their home for four days and didn’t notice anything unusual.
“I have three dogs,” White said. “We use this room nonstop: watch TV; the kitchen’s right here; no indication.”
After plugging in a piece of equipment and observing the tree begin to wobble, Bobby Hayes, owner of Magic Carpet Cleaning, who was at the house while the family was away, first observed the bird.
“The owl was literally sitting on a lower limb here,” Hayes said.
“It crawled up into the tree further,” Hayes said. “It took me several minutes to even find it.”
White, who was relieved he was present to handle the animal, received pictures from him. According to Hayes, he was able to securely let the owl go into the backyard of the family.
“Everybody’s going to be able to have a merry Christmas now,” Hayes said.
