This is the best summary I could come up with:
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — One Kentucky family got a little something extra when they picked out their Christmas tree this year: a baby owl.
They had the tree in their home for four days and didn’t notice anything unusual.
“We use this room nonstop: watch TV; the kitchen’s right here; no indication.”
Bobby Hayes, who owns Magic Carpet Cleaning and was at the home while the family was out, first noticed the bird after plugging in a piece of equipment and seeing the tree start to sway.
“The owl was literally sitting on a lower limb here,” Hayes said.
Hayes said he was able to safely release the owl in the family’s backyard.
