The post Tiny Owl Found in a Christmas Tree That Traveled 170 Miles to New York City appeared first on Our Funny Little Site.
]]>According to the Ravensbeard Wildlife Center’s heartwarming post on Facebook, an employee of a transport company that was delivering a Christmas tree for NY’s Rockefeller Center discovered a small owl nested in the branches during a 170 miles long drive from Oneonta to New York City. His wife called the center and they quickly acted to take care of the bird.
The owl, fittingly named Rockefeller, was visibly exhausted from the long trip, but the staff managed to help it recover its strength, giving it fluids and feeding it with “all the mice” the bird can eat.
Rockefeller spent the next following days at the Center, undergoing necessary tests and getting ready for her release to the wild. Yes, the adorable owl turned out to be a female.
The staff concluded that taking Rocky back to Oneonta would be too much stress, so they decided to find her a new home on facility grounds in Saugerties. The tiny owl was successfully released last week and is now probably taking a nap on a branch.
“Rocky’s release was a success!,” the Center wrote on Facebook. “She is a tough little bird and we’re happy to see her back in her natural habitat.”
Check out the moment of the release in the video below.
