Bird Symbolism & Culture Writer

I've spent the last decade chasing bird meanings across cultures, folklore, and everyday life. What started as casual bird watching evolved into a genuine fascination with how different communities interpret avian symbolism—from Indigenous dream traditions to medieval heraldry to modern slang. I keep detailed journals of backyard visitors and maintain a sprawling archive of bird references in literature, film, and mythology. My rescued greyhound, Beacon, is my steady companion during research walks. I'm drawn to the intersection of ornithological fact and cultural narrative, and I love debunking myths while respecting the wisdom embedded in traditional beliefs.
