Salma Hayek did a cute brief video for People Magazine’s Most Beautiful issue featuring her rescue owl, Kering. (This came out a little while ago, but I’m just seeing it now.) We last talked about Salma’s owl in February, when she mentioned it in an interview with Colbert. Salma told Colbert that she became obsessed with owls and then realized she could rescue one, which is legal in London where she lives. However in her People video Salma makes it sound like she just came across the owl rescue site and then adopted one. Whatever the case, it’s clear Salma adores that owl. She’s also a devoted mom to her other pets, which include two dogs. In her video she talks about how incredible her owl is, and I especially liked how she talked about the pets she’s had in her life. Here’s part of what she said and you can see the interview below.
On adopting her owl
I love owls and they were advertising some owls for rescuing about two years ago. I gave it to my husband as a Valentine’s present and I named her Kering because that’s the name of his company and their symbol is an owl. [He said] ‘this is your own present for yourself.’Her owl sleeps in the room and stays by her
Sometimes when my husband is not in town she sleeps in the room with me. I watch TV with my iPad and she likes to stand on the iPad. When I go to sleep she’s flying around. Sometimes it can be scary because she’ll land on my head… grab my feet. She will rub on me or… go on my neck inside my hair or on my head, my shoulder, my arms. I can feel her rubbing against me and I feel so blessed.On the joy of having pets
I think about all the animals I have had in my lifetime there have been so many and all the love that they have given me. It makes me feel so blessed. I’ve had so much love because I’ve had so many pets. They make me laugh. I love cuddling up to them. I like the relationship that you can establish with an animal. They all have their different personalities. Because they don’t talk, you have to be present with them, to communicate with them, to understand them. They always make you feel welcome, they never complain and if they do it makes you laugh. I like the responsibility also. A relationship with an animal is something really pure.

Salma got choked up toward the end and it was sweet. I’ve rarely heard someone describe the joy of pet ownership so well. She also said that they helped her a lot during the pandemic and lifted her mood. I could relate so much to what she said about pets. Right now I don’t have any pets because I’m renting, but when my son goes off to college that will change. I miss that companionship and love. Salma can be full of herself, she’s a celebrity married to a billionaire, but you can tell that she loves her pets and is devoted to them.
