Owl in Ohio released after being rescued from chimney

An animal rescue team in Cincinnati, Ohio, releases a wild owl after the bird was pulled from a resident's chimney. The owl's entrapment had caused a carbon monoxide leak and activated an alarm.

A young Cooper's hawk was found stuck in a downtown parking garage in Michigan, forcing rescue workers to guide the wayward bird back to freedom, state official said.

The city of East Lansing, Michigan said in a Facebook post that municipal workers found the bird trapped in the stairwell of a downtown street garage on Thursday, March 30.

Workers identified the bird as a young Cooper's hawk and called the WILDSIDE Rehabilitation and Education Center, who has been rehabilitating native Michigan wildlife for 28 years. 

The animal rescuers were able to slowly guide the hawk out of the stairwell and back to the outdoors, where it was able to fly to freedom.

Last week in Ohio, a family was forced to evacuate their home after high levels of carbon monoxide were detected due to a creature being trapped in their chimney.

The culprit, an owl, had been stuck inside the structure which caused a carbon monoxide leak and activated an alarm. 

The Cincinnati Animal CARE Humane Society was safely removed from the chimney and was reportedly unharmed. A video showing the owl being released and flying away has been shared with Fox News Digital.
