A local woman has turned her living room into a habitat for one very lucky visitor.

It's no joke, Patti Stangel of Eau Claire has an owl, living in the living room. But this is no ordinary owl, the little fellow was named Lucky after he was rescued with a wing injury.

He's now a teaching owl, who travels to more than 50 educational programs each year.

The tiny bird is also the star of a new picture book designed to teach kids about wildlife.

"It's all about Lucky and he's trying to figure out why his name is Lucky because he can't fly, so he encounters all these animals and they each have a reason why he's named Lucky," Stangel said.

She says Lucky needs to move around and she couldn't bear to keep him in a cage. That's why she collected branches and built him a habitat, much like what he would have had in the wild, only this habitat is right in the corner of her home.
