Meet Loki the overly affectionate raven who likes to cuddle.

A UK filmmaker has become best friends with a raven and says the bird often comes inside for a cuddle.

The seven-year-old called Loki has grown up in captivity and now has a bond so strong with its owner that it regularly seeks him out for an embrace.

Elliot Manarin, based in Basildon, was offered Loki by a breeder after its owner passed away and initially discovered a spiky personality.

But years of hard work, love and attention has seen the pair become best friends with the animal even comforting the 33-year-old when his mum died.
