I almost feel bad for that owl because he was minding his business in the tree then it was cut down and taken two days by truck to new York to be found malnourished. Maybe I'm' over thinking. Still very cute.

Wonderful the owl was rescued, and you DNR bird rescuers are wonderful people! Please people 'donate' to these wildlife rescuers, most do not get paid any money to do this, they use their own money, they accept donations to help save wildlife, birds, reptiles, even some veterinarians do wildlife rescue, these people are some of God's most caring souls, they literally baby sit wildlife and rehab it. I hope this little owl gets returned back to his home area. Thank you for all wildlife rescuers, and those who do animal rescue, I always donate money to my rescuer when I find wildlife she rehabs and sets free, if too injured they go to local nature centers.

@@TheMouseAvenger Meaning that a large beautiful tree is chopped down and therefore killed to provide decoration for a week or two. And no, I wouldn't be so sure that they would have selected another tree; trees in general are a vital refuse for birds and other wildlife, so why not leave what few trees we have left on this planet to serve this and other important purposes.

@jenofire8724 3 года назад

I’m protective of animals and our earth as much as anyone, but to those who are harping about the tree being cut down etc, how many times in the past have you complained about this tradition? This isn’t the first tree to be cut down for NY city, and the owl isn’t the first creature to be displaced. Instead of focusing on that one owl, who was thankfully found and rescued, focus your efforts on other worthy issues.

@AliciaNyblade 3 года назад

The newscaster said, "Branches are individually inspected before the tree is wrapped, but sometimes birds do make their way in at other points. The owl will be cared for and returned to the wild by hopefully this weekend." Just thought I'd type that out because there are tons of people in the comments who didn't seem to catch that: "OmG, tHeY CuT DoWn HiS tReE aNd KiDdNaPpEd HiM!" Seriously, y'all need to chill. That "keyboard warrior" thing isn't helping the environmentalist movement as much as you think. Cutting down evergreen trees and transporting them to other places has been a part of midwinter celebrations for centuries. It's not going anywhere. And, if people dispose of their Yule/Christmas trees properly, they can actually give back to the earth.

There are cat people, dog people... and then there's people like me: bird people. This poor owl! There was once a country owl who found himself deep in the city life. I can't imagine just sitting somewhere, having a think, and someone chops down your home, puts it on a giant moving people-thing and then being peered at by humans and put in a box. Also, I will never understand, with all our technology and creativity, how we STILL chop down new trees by the millions every year. We (hopefully!) spend all year recycling, and then buy trees to keep in our homes for two or three weeks, decorate them, and throw them away. "it's tradition" - so get a plastic one! "but the smell!" - get a candle/incense/spray! I, too, like the smell, the ritual, the tradition, the whole decorating process, but... with everything humanity is capable of, chopping down trees that provide oxygen and homes to animals just seems redonkerous.

@joycehamilton6347 3 года назад

Owls don’t think like that!

@barbrice721 3 года назад

The tree being so tall and close to a house and power lines was probably going to be cut down anyway due to safety. The fact that an owl was unfortunatly inside is sad. But he was rescued and the tree gets a chance to shine one last time and give a little cheer to a crappy year. Everyone please be safe and have a healthy Happy Holiday the best you can.
