A Georgia family got a special holiday surprise last week after finding an owl hiding inside their Christmas tree.
The discovery came last Thursday evening when Katie McBride Newman and her two children, India and Jack, were finishing dinner.

I can't even imagine how scared I would be.

What a nice story. I felt bad for it at first being hungry, but it all turned out well.

I wish I had one hanging around here.

@Sassycakes , I'll just bet within a minute you'd love him.

Incredible members of the bird family.

Great surprise, it is a shame that the girl got a fright,
but a subject to get her the top marks a school when
the teacher says write something about you holiday!

Incredibly cute.

My dad used to shake the Christmas tree violently before cutting it down. Now I know why.

Heard that on early talk radio this morning.........glad it all worked out well.

I do like Owls....most birds actually.

I'm glad the family did everything right and the bird was okay. I wonder if the bird had been in the tree when the tree was cut down.

Very likely ? Unless it landed in the tree while it was on top the family car on the way home ?

My dad rescued a bird once, a wounded Pelican. When he brought her home from the Vet, she just never left. She followed him everywhere, he bought her chicken parts at the butcher.......Her name was Penelope , [Penelope-Pelican]......

What a cool story...so glad the owl is okay!

Is that sort of like a partridge in a pear tree?

Better than finding a snake wrapped around your Christmas tree like this woman in Australia.

For some strange reason, I believe I heard about finding owls in Xmas trees before??? There is an owl, which lives in a tree near my bedroom. I've never seen it, but I've heard it. It whoos all night long. By the way, most of the trees around me are evergreen Xmas trees.

What a great story. They have a great Christmas memory for ages.
