  • Summary

  • Join us for episode one of Bird Brain, Stephen Moss (renowned nature writer and ornithologist) and I delve into the portrayal of Hedwig from Harry Potter. Discover whether the depiction aligns with the true traits of Snowy Owls and explore the storied history of anthropomorphising this fascinating species.

    Expect avian anecdotes, fantastic facts, wizarding world geekery, and an appearance from my Fairy Godson, Eloquent Elliott, aged 9.
