Please help me find this Owl

Not sure if this is the correct place for this but I'm looking for help finding an owl ornament.

It's on the current Hillary's 'For the Window's Wise' campaign that appeared in September.

Basically, my elderly, bedbound mum seems to love him/her ... I'd just really like to get it for but I've searched and all I'm getting is the actual advert. Does anyone know how you go about finding out this sort of stuff please?

Is this your fella? Have had a look via Google image, he’s very cute, but he looks to be something they’ve maybe had created?

I certainly can’t find one with the same quizzical look, maybe someone else will have a source.

@Rinkydinkydoodle Yes! That's the one.

I think I'll have to just keep searching to try and find something similar as she's really taken to it.

It moves in the advert, so it's either one that's been made specially in several poses for the ad or it's an AI rendering.

When I was looking last night I found these- similar wee head tilt but they’re not pottery priced🫣

Email or tweet them and ask if you could buy one. Bet they send you one if you explain the circumstances.

@Teaseall I saw this today and it reminded me of your mum's owl.

(Twit Tw) Ooooo, thank you @BankruptedByBirds that's more in my price range.

I did email Hillary's and got a response saying that they would forward my email to another department but haven't heard back from them.

I might chase it up because she really likes it and always comments on how much she likes him when she sees the advert.

If you don’t have any joy

there are lots of these with a variety of expressions going for about a tenner on eBay (I’d be tempted to put the little flecks on myself with a Posca pen)

If you Google Nick Smith copywriter, he was involved with the ad and may be able to help you. website : anothernicksmith.com

Hope that helps and you find your owl. x

Thank you, thank you, thank you @Survivedtheex

I emailed Nick Smith and got a lovely response within half an hour!!! He's going to see what he can do and came across as absolutely charming.

I'll update the thread if it all comes together, fingers crossed.

JimnJoyce · 16/11/2023 11:23

@Teaseall was also wondering the same.

Not yet but fingers crossed.

He said he was going to speak to the production team and get back to me when he had any news ... I didn't want to be too pushy so haven't chased it up yet. Wink

Quick update:

Not long after I posted the above, the lovely Nick sent me an email to say that he hadn't forgotten about my enquiry.

The upshot is that the owl was created by CGI, however, they are investigating actually creating a real owl as there have been quite a few a enquiries about the cute little fella - HOW GOOD IS THAT!!! Smile

He's promised to keep me posted. Star

What a lovely response.

Username6445 · 16/11/2023 17:46

I’m wanting to watch the Hilary’s ad now, to see this cute CGI owl for myself!

Amnoon · 17/03/2024 20:22

I too love the owl and am so grateful to those who have been looking for it! Please do keep us posted and I hope Hillary's have realised how many people are interested and move forward with creating owls that we can buy. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Teaseall
Same situation here, my very elderly mum love the Hilary's owl.
Did you manage to locate one?

It's an animated/AI one, it doesn't exist.

Happydragon25 · 07/06/2025 19:27

Yes, I realise that. It's just that the thread suggested they might be making some...

Please tell us what happened.
