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. India, 10, had started to clear the table and was in another room when Newman heard her exclaim,"Oh my gosh!" "She comes very dramatically into the dining room and goes, 'Mama, that ornament scared me,'" Newman told CNN."Then she bursts into tears.
The next day, they called the Chattahoochee Nature Center, a non-profit environmental center about an hour away from their home in Newnan. An employee there told them to leave the owl some raw chicken, concerned it may not have eaten in a few days. Who needs a tree topper when you have an owl?The employee stopped by Saturday morning. She caught the bird and identified it as an Eastern screech owl, common in the Georgia area, a spokesperson for the nature center, Jon Copsey, told CNN.
