There's an antique store in Durham, upstate New York, where one can really find anything on earth. As so it was that recently, a shopper looked over a cookie jar in the form of a chicken and saw a real live owl next to it.
No word on whether the owl was full of cookies or not, though.
The little town of Durham is 127 miles north of Manhattan, in case you want to shop up there.
Customers, apparently used to seeing nature on display, told the front counter that something "extremely lifelike" was on the novelty shelf.
And when the environmental conservation police officers got to the store, they found a brown-and-white owl perched on a shelf with its eyes firmly shut.
And the officers took the sleepy owl out of the store and into a woods, where it flew into a tree, with a heck of a great story to tell his friends and family.
Eastern screech owls are nocturnal and spend most of their time nesting in tree cavities, when they're not out shopping for a gift for their moms.
