About the event
In 2020, while the world was at a standstill, Bird, a Harris Hawk, became part of writer Candida Meyrick's life on Anglesey, where she lived with her young family. Together, they trained the Hawk to become a skilled hunter and a dazzling aerial performer. 'Be More Bird' is a poetic narrative of this relationship, shedding light on the ancient, global art of falconry and its urgent relevance for the modern mind.
If you enjoyed 'Raising Hare' and 'H is for Hawk,' this event is for you.
