"The story of Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl who escaped from Central Park Zoo and captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of followers around the world. This is a fable of freedom and wildness. Flaco has been dubbed "the world's most famous bird." From the night in February of 2023 when vandals cut a hole in his cage until his death a year later in a courtyard on the Upper West Side, his is a story full of adventure and unexpected turns. Nature writer David Gessner chronicles the year-long odyssey of Flaco-the owl who captured the imaginations of New Yorkers and people around the world. Though he'd spent his life in a cage, Flaco learned street smarts, surviving the mean streets by eating rats. He was an immigrant coming from elsewhere to make it in the big city. Central Park, the island of green in an urban sea, was his new home territory. Flaco's wild adventure captured the imagination of so many-unfolding during a time when we too were getting outside and seeing the world after the extended house arrest of COVID. And his end-with a grim necropsy revealing Flaco had suffered a viral infection from eating pigeons and had multiple rodenticides in his system-serves as a Rachel Carson-esque warning about the harm we've done to our urban birds"--

The World's Most Famous Bird

The Book of Flaco

'A small masterpiece, written with heart, self-belief and wisdom. Wonderful!'PAUL THEROUX2020: while the world is grounded, Bird arrives in the life of writer, Candida Meyrick, living with her young family on Anglesey.The twelve-week-old Harris Hawk, Sophia Houdini Whitewing - aka Bird - is trained over the following months by the author and her children to be most herself: a skilled hunter and dazzling aerial gymnast, whose flights enrapture the family and set the author on a deepening love affair with life on the wing.Working with her Harris Hawk over the following years reveals a new world: confronting mortality daily, moving through a liminal landscape, part sky-, part earth-bound. And every day's hunting brings a new life-lesson. Bird opens up a way of being that is everything the author most longs to be: courageous, compassionate, independent, full of joy - free as a bird.Through daily adventures across field and woodland, through bog and briar, the author comes to realise that Bird is showing her the way, guiding her soul, revealing truths about her life that would otherwise have remained hidden.Be More Bird charts this deepening relationship between bird and woman, set in one of Britain's wildest landscapes. It reveals the subtle dynamic possible between human and avian - the species most closely related to the dinosaurs - and in poetic prose illuminates the ancient, worldwide art of falconry and its urgent relevance for the modern mind: the importance of untethering our souls and belief-systems and re-establishing a connection with the wilder world.Structured around a series of 'life lessons', this astonishing and mesmerising book, executed in lyrical and emotionally charged prose, will transport readers into the wildness hidden within themselves as it encourages us to think profoundly about our connections with nature and our lives.Joy in adversity, the freedom of travelling light, the power of strength and patience, the certainty of change and importance of letting go - all this and more Bird has taught the author. By embodying the age-old rites of the hunt and the supreme skill and subtlety of the hunter, Bird suggests a way to honour and more deeply inhabit the lives we have been granted.Be More Bird is a true story, still unfolding, of a wild predator who by choice flies in partnership with a woman as her earth-bound helper. Bird crosses boundaries: between species, cultures, sky and earth. In this way, Be More Bird is a fable for our times.Dare to be more. Be more Bird.

Birds as Individuals and Living with Birds

A fresh appreciation of the magic of birds and how watching them fulfills a human need to connect with nature.
Enchantment by birds is commonplace. Birdwatchers merely go a step further than others and actively seek to be enchanted. This book tells why they take that extra step. It takes the reader on a series of excursions into birdwatching's past, venturing forward to the present. With an intriguing cast of characters, avian as well as human, its lively narratives explore the emotional and aesthetic impulses behind the pastime as well as its scientific and conservationist components.
Its stories of 22 Australian birds range widely: from wordy squabbles over bird names to the artistic finessing of field guides; from the Paradise Parrot's tragic fall into extinction to the everyday enjoyment of a Magpie's carol; from the evolution of citizen science to the boom in birding tourism. Interlacing them all is the insight that birdwatching is a means by which modern, urban people reach out to touch the wild. A primal desire to connect with nature lies at the heart of the pastime.
Enchantment by Birds not only offers a compelling exposition of what makes birders tick; it also tells us, imaginatively and informatively, why birds have a special place in our hearts.
