Guess What I want for Christmas – The Baby Owl that Loves to be Pampered

If it was possible for owls to purr, this little baby bird of prey would be doing so. Fuelled by the loyal and intelligent pets used by Harry Potter and his pals for their wizarding errands, our obsession with owl continues.

A video of a ridiculously cute baby owl being petted at an event in Italy has become an instant hit online…and is sure to be on everybody’s Christmas list this year.

The adorable little owl called Molla (which means spring in Italian) can be seen being petted and given a head massage — while clearly loving every minute of it. The clip from a falconry event in Biassono, near Milan, has already been viewed more than 2 million times since being uploaded to YouTube and it’s not difficult to see why.

Since the footage was shot at ‘i falconieri delle Orobie’, a medieval falconry event in the northern Italian municipality of Biassono, near Milan, a few days ago, little Molla has spawned a fan club and even has her own Facebook tribute page.

They are all so adorable I think I will take them all!
