Rocky the owl back in the wild after Rockefeller Christmas tree rescue in New York
By: BBC / CBS
Good news for fans of Rocky the owl - the bird found in the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree has been rehabilitated and released back into the wild.
It's good to have the occasional happy story!
The article comes from the BBC, but their video format is not copiable.
So the accompanying video is from the Ravensburger Wildlife Center, via CBS.
It's believed the feathered stowaway hitched a ride when the tree was being transported to New York City - and she'd gone three days without food or drink when she was rescued.
The Northern saw-whet owl was nursed back to health at Ravensbeard Wildlife Center, with plenty of fluids and "all the mice she could eat".

Adorable.
No other word... adorable!
I followed this story from when they first found Rocky in the Christmas tree. For a moment she just sat on the guy's hand as if to say, ''how ya doing'' and then she was off.
Ummm.... "she"...
I didn't check under its feathers to determine the gender..
Correction made.
Her gender changed sometime between the first articles and the later ones. Someone must have looked under her feathers...
Please, I'm a lady and quit looking under my feathers.
I'm so glad to hear that wee "Rockefeller" was released into the wild again. She'll have some story to tell in the coming months, I'm sure.
