A barred owl in Arlington, Virginia recently flew down a family’s uncapped chimney (that’s your bad) and perched atop their Christmas tree, knocking the star topper to the side and taking its place. Admittedly, that’s a great Christmas tree topper. In other news, apparently somebody’s going to be a freshman at Hogwarts next semester.
Keep going for a video of the owl being captured and released by the Animal Welfare League of Arlington.
Thanks to my dad, who was offered a teaching position at Hogwarts but declined because he’d rather drive the bus.
