She revealed that she had adopted a fuzzy owl pal in February 2019.
And Salma Hayek showed how her bond with her owl Kering had grown in more than a year as she decorated for Christmas on Wednesday.
The tiny bird of prey seemed more interested in his adoptive mother than in the ornament-adorned tree as he perched atop her curly brunette tresses.
Owl’s well that ends well: Salma Hayek, 54, showed how her bond with her owl Kering had grown in more than a year as she decorated for Christmas on Wednesday in photos shared to Instagram
Salma, 54, was posed at home in front of her Christmas tree and matched it with a vibrant green sweater that was decorated with a lady bug over her chest and silver and gold stars and a lightning bolt over her sleeves.
The photo was a perfectly normal Christmas image, except for the tiny gray and white owl sitting atop her head.
‘Kering likes the tree but he likes my head better,’ she captioned her cute post.
Another snap showed the owl jealously eyeing a white stuffed owl standing on Salma’s mantle.

Kering was tiny enough to look like a decoration himself as the Frida star held him on her fingers next to the tree.
Although he was still small, the owl seemed to have grown a bit since making his debut on Salma’s Instagram in February 2019,
At the time, his feathers were more of a mottled gray coloration and were fluffier, suggesting his was still young.
The adorable bird squawked in one of the early photos as the actress swooped down for a kiss on his head.
‘I love him so much,’ she wrote at the time.
Although owls in the wild will likely live less than 10 years, owls in captivity can live more than 25 years, with larger owls living longer than small owls.
