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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He-Hee! I'm too analytical. How did the marijuana get into the owl. Aren't they carnivores? Did he eat an animal that had eaten the marijuana?AND... I can understand that he was calm, but didn't he have the munchies? --- See... too analytical. -- Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked for screech owl diet, and they eat insects and small animals. No mention of plant material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the animal would smell from eating the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, I guess he could smell if he ate enough of it. People smell like what they eat, (onions, garlic, and such)if they consume enough. After the day I've had, it's nice to think so deeply about something that doesn't matter. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The family might want to consider purchasing their tree elsewhere next year. Then again- five days? How long does it take pot to go through an owl's system? Does the family have any teenagers I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR DID HE SAY THE DEVIL MADE HIM DO IT OR MAYBE IT WAS LITTEL VOICES IN HIS BIRD BRAIN, WHOOT WHOOT WHOOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe it. The smell would've come from his feathers, like second-hand smoke. He wasn't in that condition when they took him home, if he wasn't discovered for days later. Even the smell would've gone away by then. The police need to raid that house if the story is true. I know the owl didn't light up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
