🥰I worked for the RSPCA many moons ago, and still rescue-rehab wildlife when I can. You're right about birds - there's a big difference between a domesticated animal and a tamed wild one - always 50/50 between instinct and affection, but Pye has only ever known people (and my cats) and loves both!💚

🌿🏹🌿"Deeper, Older, Darker is beautifully written, poetic and creates fantastic images in my imagination. The story is compelling.
If you love folklore and magic woven into modern life, this is highly recommended."🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
