Owl found sleeping inside Virgin plane engine
An owl was recently found napping inside the engine of a Virgin Australia plane in Melbourne.
Flight engineers were surprised to find a stowaway hiding inside the giant engine of a plane when they conducted pre-flight checks.
This owl didn't give a hoot where it napped! The cute little guy was found during our pre-flight checks. Our team of engineers rescued it & was assessed before being safely released back into the wild. Where's the strangest place you've woken up? #HootHootpic.twitter.com/1NEx9usRfu

The team of engineers rescued the barn owl and assessed it before releasing it back into the wild.
The owner of Virgin, Richard Branson, noticed the tweet and responded:
Just when I thought I'd seen it owl... Great job team
