A tiny owl found nestled inside the branches of the Rockefeller Christmas tree in New York City was released into the wild on Tuesday, having been nursed back to health. The saw-whet owl, nicknamed Rockefeller, was found on November 14 when the tree was hauled into position in Manhattan. On Tuesday wildlife experts at Ravensbeard Wildlife Center, near Saugerties, released the owl into the wild. Rockefeller was unsure at first, perching on the hand of the Ellen Kalish, director of the wildlife center - the little owl only about the same size as a human hand. The Rockefeller Center clapped back in a tweet written in the voice of the tree itself.
