Some time back a barn owl showed up in the living room of a homeowner in Kirkwood, Missouri, and the incident was covered on a local TV station.
When the man came downstairs for breakfast, there the owl was, perched on top of a floor lamp, quietly staring at him as if it were normal to be perched in someone’s living room.
Although no one knows for sure, the assumption is that he came down the chimney, but he certainly did not look as if he got there via a sooty chimney.
He had that classic, heart-shaped white face coupled with a blank expression — as if to say, “So, what’s the big deal?”
