Owl chicks found under Glastonbury festival stage and other animals spotted in strange places!

The owls were named Axl and Slash after members of Guns N' Roses

These two owl chicks didn't have a ticket to the famous Glastonbury festival, but they got some front-row seats to the main stage.

The first chick was discovered underneath the famous Pyramid stage during the set of the rock band Guns N' Roses.

The next day a second chick was found under the stage.

Named Axl and Slash after Guns N' Roses' lead singer and guitarist, the two chicks are now doing well at rescue centre, Secret World.

The Pyramid stage frame is left in place all year when the land where Glastonbury festival is held goes back to being a dairy farm.

"Clearly a pair of little owls thought it would be a great place to make a nest," said David Plant fundraising manager at Secret World.

"We're so grateful to the people who found and helped them. They must have been terrified after enduring almost two full days of loud music."

The rescue centre plans to return the owl chicks to the wild once they are old enough.

Zebra on the city streets

Sero was on the loose for three hours

This zebra was seen galloping through the streets of Seoul, Korea in March.

The animal - called Sero, which means vertical in Korean - had managed to escape from his home at Seoul Children's Grand Park Zoo.

He was also spotted poking his nose into garbage bins in a residential area close to where he escaped.

The young zebra, who was born at the zoo in 2021, escaped after breaking the wooden fencing around his pen, according to the Seoul Gwangjin Fire Station.

He was eventually captured and taken back to the zoo after three hours loose in the city.

Pooch at the airport

Ralph is a three-year-old cockapoo who lives in Wrexham, North Wales, but the cheeky scamp ended up on an impromptu adventure to the airport in February 2023.

Ralph managed to get lost during his morning walk, so tried to make his way back home.

However, he only made it as far as a nearby road, where he sought warmth in a parked taxi that was waiting to take a local family to Manchester airport, (around 50 miles away!), for their holiday.

The taxi driver, who was not able to find the owner or any contact information on Ralph's collar, decided it was best to keep him safe in his car while he completed his journey to Manchester and back, then locate the pup's home when he returned.

Luckily, Ralph's paw-rent, Georgia, had posted on her social media about her missing furry bff and the pair were reunited within a matter of hours!

Squirrel in a bakery

The squirrel was spotted in the window of Greggs in Perthshire

This red squirrel which was spotted going nuts in Greggs in Pitlochry in Central Scotland.

The cheeky little creature gave staff and animal charity the Scottish SPCA quite the run around too!

The bakery 'kneaded' to closed for three days while efforts were made to remove the protected animal, which was first discovered in the roof of the shop.

Greggs confirmed that "after giving us the run around for a few days", it was caught and returned to its habitat.

The squirrel was successfully released into Faskally Wood on the banks of Loch Dunmor.

"We thank him for his rather enthusiastic first shift which turned out to be quite the adventure," the bakery said.

Starlings in a post box!

These starlings thought a post box was the perfect place to lay their eggs!

You may have heard the term 'snail mail' but what if a bird was delaying your post?

A group of starlings set up their home in a post box in Clashnessie in Scotland's Highlands.

Royal Mail have said they had a legal duty not to disturb the nesting birds and suspended service from the post box until the chicks had hatched and flown away.

A turtle on a runway!

Read about the turtle found on a runway and other animals in strange places...

A turtle in Japan caused trouble after taking a little stroll along the tarmac.

The turtle, spotted at Japan's second-busiest airport, weighed just over 2kg and was seen moving slowly on the runway.

A pilot preparing to take-off, at Narita international airport, near Tokyo, contacted air traffic control.

The reptile was removed by staff with a net and caused delays of 15 minutes.

An owl in a Christmas tree

The owl has been named Rockefeller after the Rockefeller Center - that's where the tree he was found in, has gone on display!

You've probably heard the classic Christmas song When Santa got Stuck up the Chimney, but how about swapping Santa for an owl...and chimney for a Christmas tree?

A saw-whet owl was discovered inside a huge festive Norway spruce, by workers transporting the tree to put it up outside the famous Rockefeller Center in New York.

The tiny owl was then named Rockefeller and was looked after in a wildlife centre until he was well enough to be released back into the wild.

It's thought Rockefeller was inside the tree when it was cut down and travelled the 170 miles to the city centre in it.

Ellen Kalish, who looked after him at Ravensbeard Wildlife Center, gave the owl plenty of fluids and "all the mice he can eat" after his three-day road trip.

Despite him looking so small, Rockefeller is actually a fully grown adult.

A frog in a bunch of bananas

This little frog ended up taking a surprise 5,000 mile trip, when it was discovered hiding in a bunch of bananas at a supermarket in Llanelli, in Wales.

It's thought the frog originally came from Colombia, where lots of bananas are grown, before being transported to be sold to the UK.

The frog, which has been nicknamed 'Asda', was then cared for by specialists in Pembrokeshire.

Amphibians, like frogs, are pretty clever, they can slow down their metabolism in certain environmental situations, meaning they don't need to eat or drink for a long period of time - scientists think this is how 'Asda' survived the long journey.

A cat in a wall

The tabby cat fancied a bit of chill time between two rooms

This little tabby cat decided to press 'paws' on daily life by taking up home in a six-inch gap in a wall in a house in Essex.

Nobody knows how he managed to squeeze into such a small space but RSPCA officers had to demolish the wall to get him out.

A badger in a castle

A badger was looking for a bit of space in the cellar of an old Scottish castle

Staff at Craignethan Castle in Scotland got a bit of a surprise when a badger decided to set up camp in a cellar tunnel.

They were forced to close the tunnel while they persuaded the badger to come out.

Aww, sounds like he just wanted some 'me time'.
