A family in Virginia got a special guest on top of their tree last week.
A Barred Owl got into the home and perched on the top of the family's Christmas tree.
He had to do some work to claim the spot, though...the picture posted by the Animal Welfare League of Arlington showed that the owl knocked the old star off the top of the tree to make room for a tree topper the owl thought was much better.
The AWL says the owl was released back into the wild, but not before giving the family a Christmas story they'll be telling people about for years.
