SARASOTA, Fla. - No one knows exactly how it happened, but one way or another "Cheech" the owl happned upon a stash of marijuana.
A Sarasota, Fla. family recently found him in their Christmas tree emitting a strange odor.
The family had their tree for five days before they decided to decorate it. When they did they found Cheech.
When animal control officers came to get the owl, they also noticed the odor.
"Curiously enough, the owl's feathers smelled very, very potently like marijuana," one officer said. "And it was laying there as happy as can be."
The officers examined the owl and determined it was "stoned."
Blood tests performed on the bird confirmed it was high. Officials don't know how the owl ingested the marijuana.
Officers named the owl "Cheech" and plan to return him to the wild soon.
