Tiny Owl Rescued From Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree | TODAY
Really enjoyed his cameo on Hawkeye! Real MCU star this little guy :3
Rocky appeared in Hawkeye!
Definitely one of my favorite moments in the show.
He's only the size of a soda can. Could have been missed. I definitely see a children's book in his future. How cute.
came here because the owl made a cameo in Hawkeye! haha
I almost feel bad for that owl because he was minding his business in the tree then it was cut down and taken two days by truck to new York to be found malnourished. Maybe I'm' over thinking. Still very cute.
I feel terrible for the poor lil owl and I really hope they release him back in Oneonta where they found him.
Yeah you should definitely feel bad for that owl, idk what kind of person wouldnt
They say he doing fine and will be released this weekend, he's so cute
Exactly,these Gentiles still need to cut a tree out of the forest to celebrate a pegan tradition. They are all laughing at this video. Yet they won't be laughing when God's wrath befalls upon them.

I just decorated my Christmas tree with an owl ornament tucked in the branches thinking about the little sweetie.Happy the NYC owl will be back in the wild.
I love how he seems to be taking all of this in stride. His adorable face with those wide eyes is taking it all in. The photo with the scarf around his sweet face is the best.
I loved this little owl. So glad he is safe, made me happy today. Nice to hear good stories for a change. :)
Hey Hawkeye fans!
What a cutie! So happy they were able to save him.
*“Saved”* After cutting down *HIS* tree, kidnapping him, then releasing him back to no home in the dead of winter... How nice.
@@Tensolin01 Okay, no need to be so salty and attack me. I am just trying to look on the bright side here. TOUGH CROWDDDD!
@@priscila5612 the bright side of deforestation and pollutions by us humans.
@@Tensolin01 nothing like getting snatched to safety lmao I'm just glad to see that i wasnt the only one thinking. SAVED? What a tangled Web they have weaved
I hope that everyone commenting here has never had a real Christmas tree in their entire lives given they are clearly holier than thou. LOL LOL LOL
"tiny owl rescued." more like "owl tragically evicted for the holidays." happy holidays everyone.
Huge tree killed to dress up something rotten despite climate change.
EXACTLY....they think people are stupid.....ummmm....well.....they are to believe in the stupid fairytale that he was "RESCUED"....his home was deforested....destroyed....taken....he became an orphan....etc....etc....
Exactly
God Bless these guys Thank You for taking care of this baby ♥️😇
It wasn’t rescued - it’s habitat was cut down.
Thank you
yes
Indeed ... they took away his or her home while sleeping 😴
I AM AGREE WITH 100% STOP CUTTING TREES.
@Benjamin Kidman So true!!!
They cut down his home.....
"Rescued"
I want this bastardly creature in a pie 🥧
"Stowaway."
It's a female owl. I dont know why they kept calling her male. Other videos correct this
Wonderful the owl was rescued, and you DNR bird rescuers are wonderful people! Please people 'donate' to these wildlife rescuers, most do not get paid any money to do this, they use their own money, they accept donations to help save wildlife, birds, reptiles, even some veterinarians do wildlife rescue, these people are some of God's most caring souls, they literally baby sit wildlife and rehab it. I hope this little owl gets returned back to his home area.
Thank you for all wildlife rescuers, and those who do animal rescue, I always donate money to my rescuer when I find wildlife she rehabs and sets free, if too injured they go to local nature centers.

Omg thanks for helping the little guy!!!
That owl is so adorable! I'm so glad that they saved them! I really love their name! ❤💕
“Saved” after they cut down his tree...
@@Tensolin01 Stop. You need to stop.
Tell me why I can’t watch this without tearing up from the cuteness
Rockefeller that’s a good name for the owl, it’s so adorable! 🦉🥰❤️
Perhaps the “journalists” at NBC should be analyzing the impact of habitat loss on animals for human entertainment. But geeeeeeee how cuuuuute. 😳🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
What a cute little thing, so sorry it was displaced like that
So cute! So darling!🦉❤️
This just made my whole week!! So glad the owl was okay! The ones who saved him are amazing!!
Poor 🦉! So you're in your home, minding your business, and then someone just takes it! Oh guy I feel you! Last weekend a tree came through my bedroom window! Definitely a stressful thing to go through lil guy!
Doesn't matter that the owl didn't know what Christmas is, the bird now has a safe home for a while. ❤️
That is so very true... It was minding it's business in it's own home that was cut down & use as a holiday tree. Now they're acting like it's a rescue when actually they took it's home.
*christmas tree. And not it’s “home” they move from tree to tree. Give it a rest.
And think of all the years it took that three to grow. What a loss!
Glad he's ok. I love owl's, this is a feel good story. ♥️🎄🦉
What a beautiful little guy; I am grateful he was rescued but don't personally care for cutting down trees for trivial purposes.
I'm sure they wouldn't have cut down THAT tree, had they known an owl lived in it.
@@TheMouseAvenger Meaning that a large beautiful tree is chopped down and therefore killed to provide decoration for a week or two. And no, I wouldn't be so sure that they would have selected another tree; trees in general are a vital refuse for birds and other wildlife, so why not leave what few trees we have left on this planet to serve this and other important purposes.
So cute I love 🦉 owls one of my favourite birds he brings so much joy during this sad time this owl brings Christmas to everyone
Awww. He's adorable.
Totally!
He’s so cute! I’m so glad to see that he’s ok!
He did't came along with a ride. His home was cut down and he was abducted.
Exactly I agree. His home was taken away from him.
Ya gotta wonder if he had any family that didn't make it along the way.
@@fp5495 ),:
Not his home. They move from tree to tree. It’s a tradition that will hold forever. You should go cry in Oneota, your tears could probably water next year’s tree!
Wonderful that you all saved the Owl
CZcams: quit cutting down trees
Beavers: ⚫️👄⚫️
The difference is Beavers cant single handedly cut down 50 trees a day.
"Rescued" LOL
Abducted*
He's so cute.
Poor little owl being Kicked out of his home 🦉 what a little cutie 😍
Christmas Owl Blessing
How disgusting how these people pat themselves on the back for “rescuing” him when in fact they are the reason he is homeless
@Miguel Lopez she didn't say that, but it's a fact they took the owl's home too. Right, Pancho?
@Edward Cullen they do, and it's sad people take that away from them.
I want this bastardly creature on my barbecue 🍖
"That owl picked the right tree"??... Oh yeah I'm sure the little guy had a great time.
I know, right?
The little Owl is a sign !
Its nice too see that there are people that Give a Hoot!!😂🙂
what the HAWK
I hope they can get him back to where he came from originally
They will, as soon as he/she has recovered enough to be reintroduced to its natural habitat again!
That owl planned the whole thing he wanted to be a Rockette.
This is EXACTLY what we needed this season
Lol, um, no, none of what's in this clip was accidental. This is the last thing any of us needed. Despite the cute little cult of death owl.
This owl is adorable
It was probably living in the tree before they cut it down. Poor little thing got uprooted and evicted. Plus it was probably terrified. Glad they found it and did the right thing though before he got too weak or ill.
Hope...is still out there ...inspiration and faith in makind😃😜😜 little rockerfeller😂
I’m protective of animals and our earth as much as anyone, but to those who are harping about the tree being cut down etc, how many times in the past have you complained about this tradition? This isn’t the first tree to be cut down for NY city, and the owl isn’t the first creature to be displaced. Instead of focusing on that one owl, who was thankfully found and rescued, focus your efforts on other worthy issues.
It’s time for an artificial tree
That's a great idea, too!
What a wonderful story for the holidays.
@@Danimal4321 I agree that cutting down a tree and ruining their habitat is not right. What is amazing is that the little tiny own was RESCUED in time -- he could have died. That's the part that is good. In this time where the news is so negative and depressing it's good to find a little bit of hope.
@@danielepepin4257 at least they realized before it was too late and got him to a safe and secure place to recover. Stop acting we are just a bunch of heartless monsters not all of us are soulless. They probably didn't know there was a owl living in the tree they did say sometimes the branches they check can go without leaving behind a small surprise.
But yea atleast he was saved
Precious. Sorry we cut down his home!
Awwww so cute ☺️
I don’t think anyone would like it if we are asleep and all of a sudden house is ripped from the ground and taken away and moved.
Then they decorate your home and make you leave...
Ohhhh so adorable!😻
There are special people that are blessings!!
Put an owl ornament on the top
The newscaster said, "Branches are individually inspected before the tree is wrapped, but sometimes birds do make their way in at other points. The owl will be cared for and returned to the wild by hopefully this weekend."
Just thought I'd type that out because there are tons of people in the comments who didn't seem to catch that: "OmG, tHeY CuT DoWn HiS tReE aNd KiDdNaPpEd HiM!"
Seriously, y'all need to chill. That "keyboard warrior" thing isn't helping the environmentalist movement as much as you think. Cutting down evergreen trees and transporting them to other places has been a part of midwinter celebrations for centuries. It's not going anywhere. And, if people dispose of their Yule/Christmas trees properly, they can actually give back to the earth.
Bruh this was referenced in Hawkeye lol
It wasn’t a “Christmas tree” until it was chosen by humans for that purpose. 😑
Yup, the owl was evi ted from his home.
Baby owls home is more appropriate, maybe instead of decorations donate to the dnr wildlife and bird rescuers, they are often NOT paid a penny.
sacrificing the tree to their dark god santa
Oh so cute.. he's a star now.. ok
OMG...poor thing...he is so cute ....
So adorable little owl.. beautiful guy.. rockerfeller!!!!
He is tooo cute 🥰
🦉 Hoot, Hoot!
oh my stars so adorable that owl is so cute haha baby Yoda
Rockefeller was really into owls. They're known for their occult symbolism too. This was John Rockefeller's favorite poem
A wise old owl lived in an oak;
The more he saw the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard:
Why can't we all be like that bird
Look at the little boo boo.💞
Construction worker: "hey guys! The tree's got a stowaway"
That is the cutest little owl
The owl 🦉 should be person of the year
They should release the owl back to where they took him from
So cute
The tree being so tall and close to a house and power lines was probably going to be cut down anyway due to safety. The fact that an owl was unfortunatly inside is sad. But he was rescued and the tree gets a chance to shine one last time and give a little cheer to a crappy year. Everyone please be safe and have a healthy Happy Holiday the best you can.
Poor bird. We destroyed its home. We are good at that
Ericha Yes we are :P
It's the live action Christopher the Christmas Tree!!
They rescued” the owl from his home that they chopped down! Very sad 😭😭 I cant believe nobody inspected the tree for wildlife before chopping it down... This is one big reason why I dislike using fresh Christmas trees.
I thought he looked like a saw whet owl! well I just hope he can find a nice new tree to nest in. Little cutie!
Omg so cute
What a beautiful 🦉.Glad 2 hear the lady is taking care of him.Thre tree is ugly.
Hermoso
This means something.
Was my first thought too.
There are cat people, dog people... and then there's people like me: bird people. This poor owl! There was once a country owl who found himself deep in the city life. I can't imagine just sitting somewhere, having a think, and someone chops down your home, puts it on a giant moving people-thing and then being peered at by humans and put in a box.
Also, I will never understand, with all our technology and creativity, how we STILL chop down new trees by the millions every year. We (hopefully!) spend all year recycling, and then buy trees to keep in our homes for two or three weeks, decorate them, and throw them away.
"it's tradition" - so get a plastic one!
"but the smell!" - get a candle/incense/spray!
I, too, like the smell, the ritual, the tradition, the whole decorating process, but... with everything humanity is capable of, chopping down trees that provide oxygen and homes to animals just seems redonkerous.
Owls don’t think like that!
Cute
Boa noite, um indo lugar com muita felicidade, contagiante. Adorei o vídeo.
Owl: WHOO da fook are you?
WTF New York! You making that poor baby owl homeless all for a Xmas tree
Martian Hippie Pizza I think they said it’s going somewhere to be taken care of.
I don't understand why you don't take it back to the same spot you found that Beautiful baby. It's momma is looking for her baby and her home. Talk about gentrification. I literally cried for the momma this morning.
Build something on the side of the house where the tree was cut. Not supporting the tree lighting anymore. The tree is depressed too.
🦉 means wisdom ❤️🙏🏾🪐
This world is ruled by symbols
Idols*
Yes
I was thinking the same thing. Idk if this is a good sign.
@@mahoganytherealtor Dont you love how they openly mock us? Symbolism will be their downfall.
@@mahoganytherealtor it isn't......owls, in God's Word, are symbolic of dark meaning, foreboding...birds of carrion
I am glad they rescued that I'll I think that was Al Roker that gives the weather
It’s funny because every year when they would announce that the tree was being put up I would wonder if any animals lived in it and had been displaced. Got my answer this year finally.😑🦉
Guess the ball drop celebration is also on the list of no no’s
duh
My school learned about it
Best owl and cute
Christmas tree is huge and the owl beak hides in the middle of the tree
“Past half way mark”
America/TODAY... HAPPY THANKSGIVING IN QUARANTINE... EVERYONE!!!
It's a "CHARLIE BROWN TREE." This beautiful tree is a "symbolic gift" for 2020.
The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree & tiny owl is a joyful reminder, that "ALL"
living things are precious in God's mighty wonderful kingdom on earth.
We love the "TINY OWL NAMED... ROCKEFELLER."
Rockefeller, seems to warm everyone's heart & spirit.

"That owl picked the right tree."
HOW, SWAY!?
