A baby owl blended into a Kentucky family’s Christmas tree for days before an eagle-eyed carpet cleaner spotted the bird perched on a branch, New York Post reported.
The feathered guest spent four days inside homeowner Michelle White’s living room after her family lugged back their Christmas tree this month – a yearly tradition.
“I was shocked. I was so stunned,” White told WDKY.
“I have three dogs,” White added. “We use this room non-stop — watch TV, the kitchen’s right here. No indication.”
Bobby Hayes, the owner of Magic Carpet Cleaning, found the owl as he cleaned the home’s carpet while the family was out. He spotted it when he plugged some equipment in and saw the tree slightly moving.
“The owl was literally sitting on a lower limb here,” Hayes told the station, adding “It crawled up into the tree further. It took me several minutes to even find it.”
The business owner grabbed the bird and sent a photo of it to White.
“I thought he’d put a stuffed animal or an ornament in it, so I called him immediately. I’m like, ‘You’re kidding me, right?’ He was like, ‘No,’” she recalled, noting that if she found the owl she would have fled the house.
The bird was released back into the wild and White, a knitter in her free time, is going to stitch an ornament of an owl to place on her tree.
“Everybody’s going to be able to have a merry Christmas now,” Hayes told WDKY.
貓頭鷹寶寶在家裡的聖誕樹上掛了四天
一隻小貓頭鷹在肯塔基州一個家庭的聖誕樹上待了幾天，然後一位目光敏銳的地毯清潔工發現了這只棲息在樹枝上的小鳥。
這位長著羽毛的客人在房主米歇爾·懷特(Michelle White)的客廳里呆了四天，此前她的家人本月把聖誕樹拖了回來——這是一年一度的傳統。
“我很震驚。 我非常震驚，」懷特告訴 WDKY。
「我有三隻狗，」懷特補充道。 「我們不停地使用這個房間——看電視，廚房就在這裡。 沒有任何跡象。”
鮑比·海耶斯（Bobby Hayes）是魔毯清潔公司的老闆，他在家人外出時清潔家裡的地毯時發現了這隻貓頭鷹。 當他插入一些設備並看到樹在輕微移動時，他發現了這一點。
海耶斯告訴電視台：「這隻貓頭鷹實際上是坐在下肢上，」他補充道，「它進一步爬進了樹。 我花了幾分鐘才找到它。”
企業主抓住了這隻鳥，並將它的照片發送給懷特。
「我以為他在裡面放了一個毛絨動物或裝飾品，所以我立即打電話給他。 我說，『你在開玩笑吧？』他說，『不，』」她回憶道，並指出如果她發現了這隻貓頭鷹，她就會逃離房子。
這隻鳥被放回野外，閒暇時編織的懷特準備縫製一個貓頭鷹裝飾品，放在她的樹上。
海耶斯告訴 WDKY：“現在每個人都可以度過一個快樂的聖誕節了。”
