The spruce arrived at the square this week from Oneonta in upstate New York. According to the New York Post newspaper, the tree was criticized for its “sad, drooping appearance,” but then it turned out that the Christmas tree brought a special present this year. It is a saw-whet owl, a species that only grows to 20 centimeters.

“I thought it was such a heartwarming Christmas story that there was a surprise in the Christmas tree,” said Ellen Kalish of the wildlife sanctuary where the owl was taken. The owl hadn’t eaten anything for three days, so it was fed immediately. The shelter also gave the owl an appropriate name: Rockefeller. After examination by a veterinarian, Rockefeller will be released back into the wild.
