Look “whooo” is in the holiday spirit.
A baby owl blended into a Kentucky family’s Christmas tree for days before an eagle-eyed carpet cleaner spotted the bird perched on a branch.
The feathered guest spent four days inside homeowner Michelle White’s living room after her family lugged back their Christmas tree this month – a yearly tradition.

I remember finding an abonanded nest in the tree, never an owl.
Don't know if this real or a tik-tok prank.

I happen to personally know two people who had hitchhikers on Christmas trees (an owl and a young raccoon). So it's plausible.
That said, anything interesting can always end up being faked for Tik Tok... Won't quote odds, because it seems like fake crap for social media is becoming overwhelmingly common.

Screech Owl. We had one years ago that my grandfather found in his pecan orchard. Injured, so he took it in. Made for a very interesting pet. Yeah, I know ... that’s not legal. We eventually let it free after it seemed healthy enough. It hung around for years after that.

If I had to guess, it’s probably someone pulling a prank trying to get attention.

It went four days without doing some hunting? Or maybe there were some mice in the home and it ate at night.

If you assume that any video you see on the internet is staged or otherwise faked, you’ll be right far more often than wrong.

This is nothing. I’m going to make a TikTok video of the great white shark that was hidden in my fish tank for four days after I picked it up from the pet store. :-P

I don’t buy this, its too big not to notice, and I am sure it would have made some sort of noise. A cricket in the house is annoying, can’t imagine an owl.

"...hitchhikers on Christmas trees...".
I've heard of this sort of thing in years past - so it may be plausible.
Of course those stories from back years ago may have been BS - as this one may be.
So who really knows?
