Owl discovered in Christmas tree found with marijuana in system

SARASOTA, Florida (AP) - Here's a holiday story you just won't believe.
A family found an owl in their Christmas tree, and the bird apparently had a little hooter in him.

A small screech owl was found in a live Christmas tree that a family bought.

They kept the tree for five days before they decided to decorate it.

When they did, they found the owl.

Animal control officers came to get the owl, and when they did, they made a shocking discovery!

"I kept smelling him and smelling him, saying 'What is that odor'. It was lying there as happy as can be,"says one animal control officer who was at the scene.

"Curiously enough, the owl's feathers smelled very, very potently like marijuana," says Animal Control Officer Dering. They examined the owl, looked at its eyes, big owl eyes, and the owl was, in the vernacular, stoned."

Blood tests confirmed the owl was flying high, on marijuana.

They checked him out, fed him and named him Cheech.

He'll be released in a few days.

What the????????????????? No way. How did he get in the tree? And more importantly how did he get stoned? :lol:

Got stuck in a huge bag full of weed some drug dealers had? Very, very, very strange. :eek:

Very, very odd!

:eek:

TexasStooge, can you change the title of this thread to "...and you think you heard of everything"? It would be an apt title.

Maybe the owl got the marijuana from a Hooters restaurant.

I wonder how he was even able to stay perched on the tree branch... He might have been too dizzy to fly, maybe he thought he was flying? Maybe be ran into the tree... Go figure... Thats too funny... Not too wise of a decision for "cheech"...
